Divide the scaled dimensions by 2, then multiply that by 7:
Length: 20 / 2 = 10. 10*7 = 70 feet.
Width: 10 / 2 = 5. 5 * 7 = 35 feet.
A) The pool is 70 feet long by 35 feet wide.
B) Area is length x width
Area = 70 * 35 = 2,450 square feet.
Cover cost 0.30 per square foot.
Total cost = 2,450 x 0.30 = $735
Answer:
Part A. 70 feet, 35 feet
Part B. $735
Step-by-step explanation:
The blue print of a pool has a scale of 2 inches equals to 7 feet.
The length in blueprint is 20 inches and the width is 10 inches.
Part A.
∵ 2 inches = 7 feet
∵ 1 inch = 7/2 = 3.5 feet
20 inches = 3.5 × 20 = 70 feet
10 inches = 3.5 × 10 = 35 feet
The actual dimensions of the pool Blueprint 10 in. Actual 35 feet, Blueprint: 20 in Actual : 70 feet.
Part B.
To buy a cover for the pool that costs $0.30 per square foot.
Area = Length × width
Area = 70 × 35 = 2,450 feet²
cost per square foot = $0.30
for 2,450 square foot = 2,450 × 0.30 = $735.00
It costs $735 to buy a cover for the pool.
