Answer:

10 cm and 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangular swimming pool = 50 meters

The width of the swimming pool = 25 meters

Scale is 1 centimeter = 5 meters

Then length of Scale drawing = [tex]\frac{50}{5}[/tex]

= 10 centimeters

The width of scale drawing = [tex]\frac{25}{5}[/tex]

= 5 centimeters

Therefore, the scale drawing of the swimming pool measures 10 cm in length and 5 cm in width.

The new dimension of the pool will be 10cm by 5cm where 1 centimeter represents 5 meters.

Scaling is a way of resizing an object. It can either be to enlarge or reduce the object.

Given the measurement of a rectangular pool to be 50m by 25m

Making a scale drawing of the pool where 1cm represents 5 meters that is:

1 cm = 5m .... 1

For the length;

L = 50 m ..... 2

Divide both expressions 1 and 2;

[tex]\frac{1}{L}= \frac{5}{50}\\5L =50\\L =\frac{50}{5}\\L=10cm[/tex]

For the width:

Original width = 25 meters

Get the new width

[tex]\frac{1}{W}= \frac{5}{25}\\5W =25\\W =\frac{25}{5}\\W=5cm[/tex]

This shows that the new dimension of the pool will be 10cm by 5cm
