    1. \(2\) cm
    2. \(3\) cm
    3. \(4\) cm
    4. \(5\) cm

  8. A scale drawing uses a scale of \(1\) inch \(= 5\) feet. A rectangular room is drawn with dimensions \(4\) inches by \(3\) inches. What is the perimeter of the actual room?

    1. \(28\) feet
    2. \(35\) feet
    3. \(70\) feet
    4. \(140\) feet

Answer key and explanations

  1. C. \(14\) feet

    Multiply the drawing width by the scale: \(3.5\times4=14\) feet.

  2. A. \(10\) km

    Use the scale: \(2 \text{ cm} \times 5 \text{ km/cm} = 10\) km.

  3. C. \(15\) feet

    Multiply: \(2.5 \times 6 = 15\) feet.

  4. C. \(8\) feet

    The drawing shows \(4\) cm. Using the scale \(1\) cm = \(2\) ft: \(4 \times 2 = 8\) feet.

  5. B. \(5\) inches

    Divide the actual length by the scale factor: \(60 \div 12 = 5\) inches.

  6. D. \(125\) miles

    Multiply: \(5 \text{ inches} \times 25 \text{ miles/inch} = 125\) miles.

  7. B. \(3\) cm

    Divide: \(9 \text{ m} \div 3 \text{ m/cm} = 3\) cm.

  8. C. \(70\) feet

    Actual dimensions: \(4 \times 5 = 20\) feet and \(3 \times 5 = 15\) feet. Perimeter: \(2(20 + 15) = 70\) feet.
