Answer:

The length in the drawing is 10 cm and the width is 5 cm

The drawing in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale is [tex]\frac{1}{5}\frac{cm}{m}[/tex]

using proportion

Find out the dimensions of the swimming pool in the drawing

Length 50 m

Let

x -----> the length in the drawing

[tex]\frac{1}{5}\frac{cm}{m}=\frac{x}{50}\frac{cm}{m}\\\\x=50/5\\\\x=10\ cm[/tex]

so

the length in the drawing is 10 cm

Width 25 m

Let

x -----> the width in the drawing

[tex]\frac{1}{5}\frac{cm}{m}=\frac{x}{25}\frac{cm}{m}\\\\x=25/5\\\\x=5\ cm[/tex]

so

the width in the drawing is 5 cm

The drawn in the attached figure
