The notation "SCALE: 1'' = 20'-0''" on a site plan specifies the scale of the drawing in terms of how an inch on the drawing corresponds to feet in the real world. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
1. The notation "1''" represents one inch on the site plan, which is the drawing or the representation.
2. The notation "20'-0''" represents twenty feet and zero inches in the real world (actual size).
So, interpreting this scale:
- For every inch (1'') on the drawing, it corresponds to twenty feet (20') in reality.
Therefore, the correct explanation for the given scale is:
every inch represents [tex]\(20^{\prime}\)[/tex]
