An architect finds some unlabeled dimensions on a blueprint, and no scale is shown. A 14-foot wall that has already been built measures 2 inches on the drawing. A new wall that has to be built measures 6 inches on the drawing. How long will the new wall be? A. 7 ft. B. 28 ft. C. 42 ft. D. 84 ft.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Option (C)The new wall will be 42 foot longExplanation:Given a 14-foot wall in reality equals 2 inches in drawing
And a new wall has to be built that measures 6 inches in the drawing
According to the question
2 inches (in drawing) = 14-foot (in reality)
6-inces (in drawing) = [tex]\frac{(14\times6)}{2}[/tex] = 42 foot
Therefore, the wall that measures 6 inches in the drawing will be 42 foot long in reality
