if one inch represents 14 feet how many inches would you use to make a scale drawing of a building that is 199 feet

14.21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 inch = 14 feet

Required

Find the equivalent of 199 feet

Write out the given expression;

1 inch = 14 feet

Let x represent the equivalent of 199 feet in inches; Such that:

x = 199 feet

Write out both expressions

1 inch = 14 feet

x = 199 feet

Using cross multiplication; both expressions become

x * 14 feet = 199 feet * 1 inch

Divide both sides by 14 feet

(Approximated)

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

won't that be plagrisim thought?
