17. A scale drawing of a pool is shown. The length of the pool in the drawing is 4.6 inches. The scale that maps the drawing to the actual pool is 1 inch to 3.4 feet.
Using the scale given, enter the actual length, in feet, of the pool.

15.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale of the drawing = 1 inch to 3.4 feet

Length of pool in the drawing = 4.6 inches

Let "x" represent the actual length of the pool.

Thus,

1 inch : 3.4 ft = 4.6 inches : x ft

Cross multiply

Actual length of the pool is 15.64 ft

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

a² + b²= c²

24² + 7² = c²

c= 25
