A rectangular swimming pool measures 50 meters in length and 25 meters in width. If the length in the scale drawing is 10 cm, what is the width of the scale drawing?

The 25 m width of the actual swimming pool in the scale drawing is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the actual swimming pool given are

Length = 50 meters

Width = 25 meters

The length of the swimming pool on the scale drawing = 10 cm

The scale of the scale drawing is therefore;

10 cm on the scale drawing is equivalent to 50 meters of the actual swimming pool

Which gives;

10 cm:50 m

However, 50 m = 5,000 cm, therefore;

10 cm:5,000 cm or 10 : 5,000

Which is 10 to 5000 or 10/10 to 5000/10 = 1 to 500

The scale of the scale drawing is 1 to 500

or 1 cm of the scale drawing = 5 meters of the actual swimming pool

Therefore, the width of 25 meters of the actual swimming pool can be given as follows;

5 m = 1 cm

1 m = 1 cm/5

25 m = 25× 1 m = 25 × 1 cm/5 = 5 cm

Therefore, the 25 m width of the actual swimming pool in the scale drawing = 5 cm.
