Explanation of Solution

Given:An architect is designing a school courtyard that is 45 feet long and 30 feet wide.

Concept Used: $0.5\text{ in}=10\text{ feet}$

A school courtyard 45 feet long and 30 feet wide.

First change the dimension of courtyard according to scale.

  $\begin{array}{l}10\text{ feet}=0.5\text{ in}\\ 45\text{ feet}=\frac{45}{10}\times 0.5=2.25\text{ in}\\ 30\text{ feet}=\frac{30}{10}\times 0.5=1.5\text{ in}\end{array}$

Now make drawing with new scale on sheet 0.25 in grid paper.
