Question

Find the ratio between one side of the rectangle in the photograph to the corresponding side of the rectangular building in the actual drawing.

• A. 1 in : 8 ft
• B. 1 in : 12 ft
• C. 1 in : 18 ft
• D. 1 in : 15 ft

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1 in : 15 ft


Length of one side of rectangle in actual drawing = 120 ft.
Length of one side of rectangle in photograph = 8 in.

∴ Length of one side of rectangle which is 1 inch in photograph is:

$\frac{120\times 1}{8}=15ft.$

So, the scale is:
$1in:15ft$
