A triangular-shaped park and a model of the park are similar. The ratio of their corresponding side lengths is 1:200. If a path in the park is 100 meters long, what is the length of the corresponding path in the model?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Ratio of corresponding sides (model: park) = 1:200
Length of path in the park = 100 meters
Formula:
Length of model = Actual length / 200
Length of path in the model = 100 / 200 = 50 cm
