Note: It is not given that, 1 cm represents 2m
The bench area on an actual basketball court is 9 meters long.
We need to find how long should the bench be on the scale drawing. Since 1 cm represents 2m. It means 1 m represents 0.5 cm
9 meters will represent,
[tex]\dfrac{9}{0.5}\ cm\\\\=18\ cm[/tex]
Hence, the bench is 18 cm long.
