Answer:
Option B
Explanations:
Note that:
Scale Factor = (Actual Height) / (Drawing height)
From the question, the drawing height of the chick = 5cm
Let us consider the options one after the other, to determine which of them gives the actual distance for each of the scale factors selected, since drawing height = 5cm for all cases.
In option A:
Scale factor = 1/2
Scale Factor = (Actual Height) / (Drawing height)
1/2 = Actual Height / 5
2 (Actual Height) = 5
Actual Height = 5/2
Actual Height = 2.5 cm
10 units was written as the actual height of the chick in the option A, therefore, option A is wrong
In option B
Scale factor = 1/2
The actual height chosen is 2.5 units, since it is the same as the height of the chick that we calculated above, option B is correct.
Option C
This is also wrong because, actual height of the chick is 2.5 units for a scale of 1/2 and not 5 units
