A school has a square playground with each side measuring 120 feet. A scale drawing of the

playground uses the scale = inch equals 12 feet.

What is the length of a side of the playground on

this scale drawing?

Help!

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the playground in its actual size is 120 feet.

The scale drawing uses a scale of 1 inch to 12 feet.

This means that 1 inch in the drawing equals 12 feet in actual size.

Therefore, the length of the playground on the scale drawing is:

1 inch = 12 feet

x = 120 feet

Cross-multiply:

120 * 1 = 12 * x

=> x = 120 / 12 = 10 inches

The length of a side of the playground on  the scale drawing is 10 inches.
