Investing Scale drawings
Sections 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3
Materials:
• ruler
• tape measure
• grid paper(optional)
This activity may be completed by working in groups or individually.
Scale drawings are used by architects, engineers, interior designers, ship builders, and others. In a scale drawing each unit measurement on the drawing represents a fixed length on the object being drawn. For instance, in an architect’s scale drawing, 1 inch on the drawing may represent 10 feet on a building. The scale describes the relationship between the measurements. If the measurements have the same units, the scale can be expressed as a ratio. In this case, the ration would be 1:20, representing 1 inch to 120 inches (or 10 feet)
Use a ruler and the scale drawing of a college building below to answer the following questions.
How tall is the front of the college building?

(n - 1)!arrow_forwardAmy and Samiha have a hat that contains two playing cards, one ace and one king. They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
