Answer 2

The actual dimensions of the swimming pool are 24 feet by 36 feet.

• According to the scale drawing, dimensions of the swimming pool are 2 inches by 3 inches

• Given scale : 0.25 inches = 3 feet

This means 0.25 inches on drawing represents 3 feet on ground.

• Since 0.25 inches = 3 feet, 1 inch = (3 / 0.25) feet = (300 / 25) feet = 12 feet

• This implies that 2 inches on drawing = 2 × 12 feet on ground

=> 2 inches on drawing = 24 feet on ground

Similarly, 3 inches on drawing = 3 × 12 feet on ground

=> 3 inches on drawing = 36 feet on ground

• Therefore, the actual dimensions of the pool are 24 feet by 36 feet.
