Answer:

15.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale of the drawing = 1 inch to 3.4 feet

Length of pool in the drawing = 4.6 inches

Let "x" represent the actual length of the pool.

Thus,

1 inch : 3.4 ft = 4.6 inches : x ft

[tex] \frac{1}{3.4} = \frac{4.6}{x} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex] (1)(x) = (4.6)(3.4) [/tex]

[tex] x = 15.64 [/tex]

Actual length of the pool is 15.64 ft
