Example 1.
Basketball at Recess?
Vincent proposes an idea to the Student Government to install a basketball hoop along with a court marked with all the shooting lines and boundary lines at his school for students to use at recess. He presents a plan to install a half-court design as shown below. After checking with the school administration, he is told it will be approved if it fits on the empty lot that measures 25 feet by 75 feet on the school property. Will the lot be big enough for the court he planned? Explain.

Scale Factor: 1 inch corresponds to (15∙12) inches, or 180 inches, so the scale factor is 180. Let k = 180, x represent the scale drawing lengths in inches, and y represent the actual court lengths in inches. The y-values must be converted from feet to inches.
To find actual length: y = 180x
y = 180(2)
y = 360 inches, or 30 feet
To find actual width: y = 180x
y = 180(1 \(\frac{2}{3}\))
y = \(\frac{180}{1}\)∙\(\frac{5}{3}\)
y = 300 inches, or 25 feet
The actual court measures 25 feet by 30 feet. Yes, the lot is big enough for the court Vincent planned. The court will take up the entire width of the lot.

Answer:
Engage NY Math 7th Grade Module 1 Lesson 18 Example Answer Key 4
Method 1:
Using the given scale: 1 cm of scale drawing length corresponds to 20 m of actual length.
k = 0 Drawing length to actual length
To find the actual length: y = 20x Where x represents the the scale drawing measurements in centimeters, and y represents the actual measurement in meters.
y = 20(8) Substitute the scale drawing length in place of x.
y = 160
The actual length is 80 m.
To find actual width: Divide the actual length by 2 since its drawing width is half the length.
The actual width is 80 m.

Method 2:
Use the scale factor: 1 cm of scale drawing length corresponds to 2000 cm of actual length.
k = 2000 Drawing length to actual length (in same units)
To find actual length: y = 2000x Where x represents the drawing measurement in centimeters, and
y represents the actual measurement in centimeters.
y = 2000(8) Substitute the scale drawing length in place of x.
y = 16000
The actual length is 16,000 cm, or 160 m.

To find actual width: y = 2000x
y = 2000(4) Substitute the scale drawing width in place of x.
y = 8000

Answer:
Engage NY Math 7th Grade Module 1 Lesson 18 Example Answer Key 51
Using an Equation:
Find the constant of proportionality, k: k = 4
k = 4 (Scale factor since units of measure are the same; it is an enlargement.)
To find Actual Length: y = 4x Where x represents the picture measurement, and y represents the
actual advertisement measurement.
y = 4(1 \(\frac{1}{4}\)) Substitute the picture length in place of x.
y = 5
To find Actual Width: y = 4x
y = 4(1\(\frac{1}{8}\)) Substitute the picture width in place of y.
y = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
The tablet will be 5 inches by 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) inches on the actual advertisement.

Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 1 Lesson 18 Exercise Answer Key

Students from the high school are going to perform one of the acts from their upcoming musical at the atrium in the mall. The students want to bring some of the set with them so that the audience can get a better feel for the whole production. The backdrop that they want to bring has panels that measure 10 feet by 10 feet. The students are not sure if they will be able to fit these panels through the entrance of the mall since the panels need to be transported flat (horizontal). They obtain a copy of the mall floor plan, shown below, from the city planning office. Use this diagram to decide if the panels will fit through the entrance. Use a ruler to measure.

= 432, an enlargement
Step 2: Find the actual distance of the entrance.
Using the given scale: \(\frac{3}{8}\)∙\(\frac{36}{1}\) = 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
The actual distance of the entrance is 13 \(\frac{1}{2}\) feet wide.
OR
Using the scale factor: \(\frac{3}{8}\)∙\(\frac{432}{1}\) = 162
The actual distance of the entrance is 162 inches, or 13\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet, wide.
Yes, the set panels, which are 10 ft. ×10 ft. , will fit (lying flat) through the mall entrance.

b. What is the scale factor? What does it tell us?
Answer:
The scale factor is 432. Each length on the scale drawing is \(\frac{1}{432}\) of the actual length. The actual lengths are 432 times larger than the lengths in the scale drawing.

A drawing of a surfboard in a catalog shows its length as 8\(\frac{4}{9}\) inches. Find the actual length of the surfboard if \(\frac{1}{2}\) inch length on the drawing corresponds to \(\frac{3}{8}\) foot of actual length.
Answer:
Engage NY Math 7th Grade Module 1 Lesson 18 Exit Ticket Answer Key 60
y = kx
y = \(\frac{3}{4}\) x
=8 \(\frac{4}{9}\) ∙\(\frac{3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{76}{9}\) ∙\(\frac{3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{19}{3}\) ∙\(\frac{1}{1}\)
The actual surfboard measures 6 \(\frac{1}{3}\) feet long.

Note: Students could also use an equation where y represents the scale drawing, and x represents the actual measurement, in which case, k would equal \(\frac{4}{3}\) .
