The scale drawing of a rectangular room measures 10cm long by 6cm wide. The actual width of the room is 9 metres. What is the actual perimeter of the room, in metres?

48 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the scale, since we know both widths it is possible:

we pass the 9 meters to centimeters = 900 cm

900/6 = 150

So the scale would be 1: 150

Which means that the length is 150 times bigger.

10 * 150 = 1500cm or what equals 15m

the perimeter is the sum of all the sides, therefore:

P = 15 + 15 + 9 + 9

P = 48

Which means that the perimeter of the room is 48 meters
