A beetle that Hannah observed was too small to draw at its actual size. Hannah decided to make a scale drawing of the beetle as shown above. The beetle in the drawing is 7.62 cm long and 3.81 cm wide. The scale factor of her drawing is 3. Part A: Find the actual length of the beetle Hannah observed. Show all work. Part B: Find the actual width of the beetle Hannah observed. Show all work. Part C: The actual length of each of the beetle's antennae is 0.2 cm. What is the size of each antenna on Hannah's scale drawing? Show all work.

Answer:

[tex]Actual\ Length = 2.54\ cm[/tex]

[tex]Actual\ Width = 1.27\ cm[/tex]

[tex]Scale\ Length = 0.6\ cm[/tex] --- Beetle's antennae

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The following scale measurements

[tex]Length = 7.62cm[/tex]

[tex]Width = 3.81cm[/tex]

[tex]Scale\ Factor = 3[/tex]

Solving (a): The actual length.

We simply divide the scale length by the scale factor.

[tex]Actual\ Length = \frac{Scale\ Length}{Scale\ Factor}[/tex]

[tex]Actual\ Length = \frac{7.62cm}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Actual\ Length = 2.54\ cm[/tex]

Solving (b): The actual width.

We simply divide the scale width by the scale factor.

[tex]Actual\ Width = \frac{Scale\ Width}{Scale\ Factor}[/tex]

[tex]Actual\ Width = \frac{3.81\ cm}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Actual\ Width = 1.27\ cm[/tex]

Solving (c):

Given: Actual Length of the beetle's antennae is 0.2 cm.

Required: Determine the scale measurement.

This is solved using:

[tex]Actual\ Length = \frac{Scale\ Length}{Scale\ Factor}[/tex]

[tex]0.2\ cm = \frac{Scale\ Length}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Scale\ Length = 0.2cm * 3[/tex]

[tex]Scale\ Length = 0.6\ cm[/tex]
