An architect draws a plan for a wheelchair ramp on the plan, the ramp is 2cm high and 24cm long what might the dimensions of the actual ramp be (use equivalent ratios)

Answer:

[tex]Height = 30cm[/tex]

[tex]Length = 360cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Scale Measurement

[tex]Height = 2cm[/tex]

[tex]Length = 24cm[/tex]

Required

Determine the possible actual measurement

First, calculate the equivalent ratio.

[tex]Ratio = \frac{Length}{Height}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{24cm}{2cm}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 12[/tex]

To do this, we pick a scale factor.

Assume the scale factor is 15.

The actual measurement will be:

[tex]Height = 2cm * 15[/tex]

[tex]Height = 30cm[/tex]

[tex]Length = 24cm * 15[/tex]

[tex]Length = 360cm[/tex]

When the scale ratio is calculated, we have:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{Length}{Height}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{360cm}{30cm}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 12[/tex]

Note that both have the same equivalent ratios of 12.

So, whatever the scale ratio you use, the equivalent ratio will be the same
