A rectangular plot of land measures 120 feet by 96 feet. Which dimensions could not represent the plot on a scale drawing?
Options:
A- 8 inches by 6 inches
B- 20 inches by 16 inches
C- 15 inches by 12 inches
D- 5 inches by 4 inches

Respuesta :

the answer is b. if you divide 120 and 96, you would get 20 inches.

The dimensions 96 inches and 120 inches of the rectangular plot can not be drawn on scale because 96 is not completely divisible by 20. Hence, the values 20 inch and 16 inch can not be used to draw the plot.

Given information:

The rectangular plot is having dimensions as 120 feet by 96 feet.

The area A of the rectangular plot can be calculated as,

[tex]A=\text{length}\times\text{width}[/tex]

So, the area of the rectangular plot is

[tex]A=120\times 96\\A=11520[/tex]

Now, the dimensions which could not represents the plot on scale can be founded which is not having the values of length or width of rectangular plot when multiplied with constants.

Consider the values given in the question are 20 inches and 16 inches as the dimensions, as one can see that 20 is not completely divisible by 96.

Hence, it will not provide the accurate dimensions when the drawing the plot.

Hence the values 20 inch and 16 inch can not be used to draw the plot on a scale.
