A rectangle with sides of 12 cm and 6 cm depicts on the plan a field occupied by oats. Determine the scale of the plan if the Large side of the field is 360 m. Determine the smaller side of the field.

We translate the length of the larger side on the plan from meters to centimeters

To do this, multiply 360 meters by 100, since 1 meter is 100 cm.

We get:

360 * 100 = 36000 cm.

We find the scale of the plan.

To do this, we divide the length of the larger side by the length of the segment on the plan.

36000/12 = 3000.

This means that the scale of the plan is 1: 3000.

In this case, the length of the smaller side will be:

3000 * 6 = 18000 cm.

When converted to meters, it will be:

18000/100 = 180 meters.

Answer:

Scale 1: 3000, side length 180 m.
