Respuesta :
calculate the sides of the rectangle in scale factor model
Length: 18 * 1/4 = 4.5 feet
Width: 16 * 1/4 = 4 feet
Rectangle area in scale factor model:
Length * Width
4.5 * 4
18 feet²
Answer:
Given dimensions of a rectangular dining table:
- width = 18 ft
- length = 16 ft
If a scale factor of [tex]\dfrac14[/tex] is used, then we need to multiply each measurement by [tex]\dfrac14[/tex]:
[tex]\implies \textsf{width}=18 \times \dfrac14[/tex]
[tex]=4.5 \textsf{ units}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \textsf{length}=16 \times \dfrac14[/tex]
[tex]=4 \textsf{ units}[/tex]
Therefore, the scale model of the dining room will be 4.5 by 4 units.
