Luis and Jasmine are making scale drawings of the front of their school for an art contest. Luis uses the scale 3 in. to 10 ft. Jasmine uses the scale 5 in. to 20 ft. The tree in front of the school in Luis's drawing is 7.5 inches tall. How tall is the tree in Jasmine's drawing?

Answer :

The height of the tree in Jasmines drawing is; 6.25 inches tall

How to interpret Scale Drawing?

The scale factor used by Louis is; 3in : 10 ft

The scale factor used by Jasmine is; 5in : 20ft

We are told that the tree in front of the school in Luis's drawing is 7.5 inches tall. Thus;

True height of tree in Louis drawing is; (7.5 * 10)/3 = 25 ft

Thus, height of tree in Jasmines drawing = (25 * 5)/20 = 6.25 inches tall
