3.5 inches and 5 inches



1 inch = 3.5 yards
1 inch = 35 yards
1 inch = 50 yards
1 inch = 10 yards

Respuesta :

The scale is: 1 inch = 10 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets define a scale first

"A scale is the smaller unit used for drawings and blueprints of large buildings"

Given

Original dimensions of rectangle

Length = 50 yards

Width = 35 yards

And the scaled drawing dimensions are:

Length = 5 inches

Width = 3.5 inches

In order to find the scale, we can divide the original length with the scaled length and original width with scaled width.

So,

[tex]Scale\ for\ length = \frac{50}{5} = 10\\\\Scale\ for\ width = \frac{35}{3.5} =10[/tex]

Hence,

The scale is: 1 inch = 10 yards
