A scale drawing of a school bus has a scale of 1 inch to 5 feet. If the length of the school bus is 6 inches on the scale drawing, what is the actual length of the bus? Explain or show your reasoning. *

Respuesta :

Answer: 30 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In Technical drawings scales are used to reduce the size ( scaling ) of drawings so they fit in our drawing sheets. in this example above the drawer stated that 1inch was representing 5feet. what this means is that because we can’t get a drawing sheet which would be 40-100 feet wide we need to rescale our drawing to fit into the available sheet. So by saying 1inch equals 5feet this means the school bus is 30Feet in length.
