Diagram should be 16 inches wide.
Suki has a oriental rug with the dimensions as,
- Length = 9 foot
- Width = 12 foot
Scale factor by which the scale drawing has been made,
Scale factor = \(\frac{\text{Dimension of the scale drawing}}{\text{Dimension of the oriental rug}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{9}\) ft.
By using scale factor for the measure of the width,
Scale factor = \(\frac{\text{Width of the scale drawing}}{\text{Width of the oriental rug}}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}=\frac{x}{12}\)
\(x=\frac{12}{9}\)
\(x=\frac{4}{3}\) feet
Since, 1 feet = 12 inches
Therefore, measure of the width of the oriental rug = \(\frac{4}{3}\times 12\)
= 16 inches.
Hence, diagram should be 16 inches wide.
