The scale of a drawing is 17cm represents 200m The following
The scale of a drawing is 1.7cm represents 200m. The following scale drawing measurements are given, calculate their actual measuements:
1) 5.1cm 2) 15.3cm
Solution
1. 1.7cm = 200m
therefore 1 cm = 200 divided by 1.7
5.1 cm = 200 divided by 1.7 X 5.1 = 600m
2. 1.7 cm = 200 m
therefore 1cm = 200 divided by 1.7
15.3 cm = 200 divided by 1.7 X 15.3 = 1800m
