A local park is in the shape of a square. A map of the local park is made with the scale 1 inch to 200 feet.

If the park is shown as a square on the map, each side of which is 12 inches long, how long is each side of the square park?

2400 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1 : 200

12 : X

X = 12 * 200 = 2400 feet

The length of each side is 50 inch / 600 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The perimeter of the square park = 12 inches

1 inch = 200 ft

12 inches = 12*200 ft = 2400 ft

To find each side of the park.

Let, each side be 'a' inches

Formula

The perimeter of a square = 4a

According to the problem,

4a = 2400

or, a = 600 ft

= 50 inch
