The diagram shows a scale drawing of a rectangular playground.
The scale of the drawing is 1 : 500
Work out the perimeter of the real playground.
Give your answer in metres (1 metre 100 cm).



Answer :

Answer:Look Down..

Step-by-step explanation: Here's how to find the perimeter of the real playground:

Measure the sides in the drawing: Measure the length and width of the playground on the scale drawing. Let's call the length in the drawing "L<sub>d</sub>" and the width in the drawing "W<sub>d</sub>".

Apply the scale: The scale means that every 1 unit on the drawing represents 500 units in real life.

Find the real dimensions: Multiply the length and width in the drawing by the scale to find the real length (L<sub>r</sub>) and real width (W<sub>r</sub>) of the playground. L<sub>r</sub> = L<sub>d</sub> x 500 and W<sub>r</sub> = W<sub>d</sub> x 500 (all in the same units).

Calculate the perimeter: The perimeter of a rectangle is the total length of all its sides. Add the real length (L<sub>r</sub>) twice and the real width (W<sub>r</sub>) twice to find the perimeter (P<sub>r</sub>) of the real playground. P<sub>r</sub> = 2L<sub>r</sub> + 2W<sub>r</sub>

Remember: Make sure all your measurements (in the drawing and real-life) are in the same unit (e.g., centimeters or meters).

For example, if the length in the drawing is 4 cm and the width is 2 cm, then the real length would be 4 cm * 500 = 2000 cm (or 20 meters) and the real width would be 2 cm * 500 = 1000 cm (or 10 meters). The perimeter of the real playground would be P<sub>r</sub> = 2 * 20 + 2 * 10 = 60 meters.

By following these steps and using the actual measurements from your diagram, you can find the perimeter of the real playground.
