a model of a ship is made to a scale of 1:200
the surface area of the model is 7500 cm²
calculate the surface area of the ship, giving your answer in square meters

Respuesta :

The surface area of the ship is 1500000 cm²

Scaling is used to either increase or decrease the size of a figure so as to create an image.

Given a scale of 1:200, this means that it is a scaling down (decrease in size) of the ship to create a model.

The surface area of the model is 7500 cm², hence that of the ship is:

Surface area of ship * (1 : 200) = surface area of model

Surface area of ship = surface area of model * 200 = 7500 * 200 = 1500000 cm²

The surface area of the ship is 1500000 cm²
