Math Problem Statement
the width is 8 in.
Solution
Thank you for providing the width. Let's calculate the scaled dimensions of the rectangle now that we have both the length and width.
Given Information:
- Original length of the rectangle: 12 inches
- Original width of the rectangle: 8 inches
- Scale factor:
Calculating the Scaled Dimensions:
-
Scaled Length:
-
Scaled Width:
Final Dimensions of the Scale Drawing:
- Length: 8 inches
- Width: inches, or approximately 5.33 inches.
The dimensions of the scale drawing of the rectangle are 8 inches by 5.33 inches.
Would you like more details on any step or have any questions? Here are some related questions:
- What is the area of the scaled rectangle?
- How does the perimeter of the scaled rectangle compare to the original?
- If the scale factor were , what would the new dimensions be?
- What is the scale factor if the scaled width needs to be exactly 4 inches?
- How do you calculate the dimensions of a rectangle if only the diagonal and scale factor are known?
Tip: To maintain the proportions of a scaled drawing, ensure all measurements are multiplied by the same scale factor.
