If Wendell creates a scale drawing using the scale 1 inch to 10 feet, what will the dimensions of the deck in the scale drawing be?

Solution

Let the deck have (actual) length x feet

breadth y feet and

height (if necessary ) z feet . (the drawing is not shown here. So the actual numbers could not be input)

Then the dimensions in the drawing are

length = 0.1 x = x/10 inches

breadth = 0.1 y = y/10inches

and height = 0.1 z= z/10 inches
