Pepper Jackie decides her map of the youth center is too small.
She draws a new map of the youth center that is 3 times larger.
What is the scale of the new map?
I in. : 36 ft
1 mi : 15 ft
1 in. : 4 ft
1 in.: 12 ft
Old Map
New Map
18 in.
Actual: 72 Ft
6
in.
scale = 1 in. : 12 ft

3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

The new map is 3 times larger so it is a dilation of 3 with a scale of 3:1

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
