1.	Look at the plan of a school given here and note the scale given at the top of the plan : 1 cm to 8 m. This verbal scale means that 1 cm on the paper represents 8 m on the ground. Use this scale to find out the length and breadth of the different places shown in the plan.
Answer» The length and breadth of different places is as follows: (a) Playground Length of the playground = 3.5 cm = 3.5 × 8 m = 27 m Breadth of the playground = 4 cm = 4 × 8 m = 32 m (b) Office Length of the office = 1.1 cm- 1.1 × 8 m = 8.8 m Breadth of the office = 0.8 cm = 0.8 × 8 m = 6.4 m (c) Library Length of the library = 1.1 cm= 1.1 × 8 m = 8.8 m Breadth of the library = 0.8 cm = 0.8 × 8 m = 6.4 m (d) Classroom Length of the Classroom = 4.35 cm = 4.35 × 8 m = 34.8 m Breadth of the Classroom = 2.1 cm = 2.1 × 8 m = 16.2 m (e) Tennis Court Length of the Tennis Court = 1.7 cm= 1.7 × 8 m = 13.6 m Breadth of the Tennis Court = 2.7 cm = 2.7 × 8 m = 21.6 m (f) Gym Length of the Gym = 1.5 cm= 1.5 × 8 m= 12 m Breadth of the Gym = 1.7 cm = 1.7 × 8 m= 13.6 m (g) Canteen Length of the Canteen =1.5 cm=1.5 × 8m=12 m Breadth of the Canteen = 1.75 cm = 1.75 × 8 m = 14 m

Answer»

The length and breadth of different places is as follows:

(a) Playground

Length of the playground = 3.5 cm = 3.5 × 8 m = 27 m

Breadth of the playground = 4 cm = 4 × 8 m = 32 m

(b) Office

Length of the office = 1.1 cm- 1.1 × 8 m = 8.8 m

Breadth of the office = 0.8 cm = 0.8 × 8 m = 6.4 m

(c) Library

Length of the library = 1.1 cm= 1.1 × 8 m = 8.8 m

Breadth of the library = 0.8 cm = 0.8 × 8 m = 6.4 m

(d) Classroom

Length of the Classroom = 4.35 cm = 4.35 × 8 m = 34.8 m

Breadth of the Classroom = 2.1 cm = 2.1 × 8 m = 16.2 m

(e) Tennis

Court Length of the Tennis Court = 1.7 cm= 1.7 × 8 m = 13.6 m

Breadth of the Tennis Court = 2.7 cm = 2.7 × 8 m = 21.6 m

(f) Gym

Length of the Gym = 1.5 cm= 1.5 × 8 m= 12 m

Breadth of the Gym = 1.7 cm = 1.7 × 8 m= 13.6 m

(g) Canteen

Length of the Canteen =1.5 cm=1.5 × 8m=12 m

Breadth of the Canteen = 1.75 cm = 1.75 × 8 m = 14 m
