The required scale is 2 cm t 5 in
This means that 2cm on the drawing would represent 5 inches on the actual flower. If the flower is 8 inches in real life, then the equation would be as shown below
2cm = 5 in
xcm = 8 in
where x represent the height of the flower on the drawing. By cross multiplying, we have
x * 5 = 2 * 8
5x = 16
x = 16/5
x = 3.2
The height of the tree on the drawing would be 3.2 cm
The needed scale is 2 cm:5in
It means that 2 cm will represent 5 inch of actual flower. if the flower of 8 inch would be in real the required equation would be:
2cm = 5 inch
xcm= 8 inch
X representing height of flower.
After Cross Multiplying,
2 × 8 = x × 5
[tex]x = \frac{2 \times 8}{5} \\ \\ x = \frac{16}{5} \\ \\ x = 3.2[/tex]
The Height Of the tree required is 3.2 cm
