You and your friends decide to camp for one night. look at the diagram of your tent below. it is drawn on 1 cm squared paper. the scale is 1 cm : 0.25 m
what are the dimensions of the tent’s porch area in metres?
m multiplied by
m
the dimension of a sleeping bag and ground mat is 2 m x 1 m. each sleeping bag and ground mat must be 0.25 metres away from the edge of the tent.
how many people can sleep in the tent?
people

1.Area of Porch =2.5m²

2.Number of people =3 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The porch area from the diagram has a dimension of 4 units by 10 units

One units =1cm

Thus the porch is drawn with dimensions of 4cm by 10 cm

Taking length is 10 cm and width as 4 cm, convert these dimensions according to the scale.

The scale is 1cm=0.25m

The width will be= 0.25×4=1 m

The length will be=0.25×10= 2.5m

Area of the porch is given by the formula;

length×width because its has a shape of a rectangle

Area of porch will be

=1m ×2.5m =2.5m²

2.

Find the dimensions of the tent

14 units by 10 units

Applying the scale on the dimensions by multiplying by 0.25

14×0.25=3.5m

10×0.25=2.5m

Width=2.5m

length=3.5m

Subtract the edge distance on both the length and width

Length will be=3.5-(0.25×2)=3.0m

Width will be=2.5-(0.25×2)=2.0m

Find the area remaining to be covered by the people while sleeping

=3.0×2.0=6m²

Area covered by sleeping bag and a ground mat

2m×1m=2m²

Number of people that can sleep in the tent

6m²÷2m²=3 people
