Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:500 cm by 212.5 cmStep-by-step explanation:Using the scale 1:40 on the 200 m dimension, we have 200/40 = 5 m. Each meter is 100 cm; this makes this 5(100) = 500 cm.Using the scale on the 85 m dimension, we have 85/40 = 2.125 m. Each meter is 100 cm; this makes this 2.125(100) = 212.5 cm.
