The scale drawing of a swimming pool measures 2 inches by 3 inches on the drawing 25 inches = 3 feet. What are the actual
dimensions of the pool?
18 feet x 24 feet
24 feet x 36 fees
30 feet x 40 feet
Submit

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.

answer: the correct option is d.

explanation:

it is given that the triangle j'k'l' shown on the grid below is a dilation of triangle jkl using the origin as the center of dilation.

from the given graph it is noticed that k(4,8) and k'(2,4). let origin is defined by o and scale factor is defined by k, then

    (1)

distance formula,

put these values in equation (1).

therefore scale factor is     and option d is correct.
