1 Computing Actual Lengths From a Scale Drawing Learning Target I can compute actual lengths in a picture using the scale.

2 Find the length and the width of the basketball court based on the drawing. Find the width of the court. Find the scale factor. Scale factor: scale = Actual 1 in = 15 ft 1 in = 15 ft *12 in Scale Factor 1 in 180 in Use a proportion. 1 in = 2 in. 15 ft x Cross Multiply 1x = 15 * 2 x = 30 ft. Width= 30 ft

3 Find the length the court.

4 Find the length.1 cm = 20 meters 8 cm x 20 meters = 160 meters Find the width. 1 cm = 20 meters 4 cm x 20 meters = 80 meters

5 1 1/8 in. 1 ½ in. Find the width. Use the scale factor in a proportion. Convert the mixed number to a fraction first. 0.25 in. = 9/8 in. 1 in. x

6 1 1/8 in. 1 ½ in.
