Question

Look at the plan of a school given here and note the scale given at the top of the plan : 1 cm to 8 m. This verbal scale means that 1 cm on the paper represents 8 m on the ground. Use this scale to find out the length and breadth of the different places shown in the plan.

Answer 1

The length and breadth of different places is as follows:
(a) Playground
Length of the playground = 3.5 cm = 3.5 × 8 m = 27 m
Breadth of the playground = 4 cm = 4 × 8 m = 32 m
(b) Office
Length of the office = 1.1 cm- 1.1 × 8 m = 8.8 m
Breadth of the office = 0.8 cm = 0.8 × 8 m = 6.4 m
(c) Library
Length of the library = 1.1 cm= 1.1 × 8 m = 8.8 m
Breadth of the library = 0.8 cm = 0.8 × 8 m = 6.4 m
(d) Classroom
Length of the Classroom = 4.35 cm = 4.35 × 8 m = 34.8 m
Breadth of the Classroom = 2.1 cm = 2.1 × 8 m = 16.2 m
(e) Tennis Court
Length of the Tennis Court = 1.7 cm= 1.7 × 8 m = 13.6 m
Breadth of the Tennis Court = 2.7 cm = 2.7 × 8 m = 21.6 m
(f) Gym
Length of the Gym = 1.5 cm= 1.5 × 8 m= 12 m
Breadth of the Gym = 1.7 cm = 1.7 × 8 m= 13.6 m
(g) Canteen
Length of the Canteen =1.5 cm=1.5 × 8m=12 m
Breadth of the Canteen = 1.75 cm = 1.75 × 8 m = 14 m
