Respuesta :

3.14 by 3.57 just divide those numbers by 14 and round to the hundredths place

The dimensions of the scale drawing must be 3.143 inches by 3.571 inches.

How to find a measure in scale drawing

The equivalent measure ([tex]r[/tex]), in inches, in scale drawing is found by following expression:

[tex]r = \frac{l}{m}[/tex]

Where:

  • [tex]m[/tex] - Reduction ration, in feet per inch.
  • [tex]l[/tex] - Real length, in feet.

If we know that [tex]m = 14\,\frac{ft}{in}[/tex], then the equivalent measures are:

[tex]r = \left(\frac{1}{14\,\frac{ft}{in} } \right)\cdot (44\,ft)[/tex]

[tex]r = 3.143\,in[/tex]

[tex]r = \left(\frac{1}{14\,\frac{ft}{in} } \right)\cdot (50\,ft)[/tex]

[tex]r = 3.571\,in[/tex]

The dimensions of the scale drawing must be 3.143 inches by 3.571 inches. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
