The video tutorial covers lesson 8.1 on similar shapes and scale drawings, focusing on standards 7.g.1, ratios, and proportions. It explains the use of blueprints and rate tables, explores ratios and proportional relationships, and demonstrates how to apply these concepts in calculations. The tutorial also covers using scale drawings to find areas and includes practical exercises for better understanding.

What is the primary standard discussed in the lesson on similar shapes and scale drawings?

• 7.G.1

• 7.G.2

• 7.RP.2B

• 7.RP.1

In a blueprint, if 4 inches represent 3 feet, what is the actual length of a wall that is 24 inches in the blueprint?

• 12 feet

• 21 feet

• 18 feet

• 15 feet

What is the purpose of using a rate table in scale drawings?

• To find the perimeter of a shape

• To calculate the area of a shape

• To convert units of measurement

• To organize and visualize information

What is a unit rate?

• A rate with a denominator of one

• A fraction with a numerator of one

• A ratio of two different units

• A comparison of two quantities

If a person walks 8 meters in 2 hours, what is the unit rate of their walking speed?

• 4 meters per hour

• 8 meters per hour

• 6 meters per hour

• 2 meters per hour

How do you calculate the area of a wall using a scale drawing?

• Divide the length by the width

• Subtract the width from the length

• Add the length and width

• Multiply the length by the width

In a scale drawing, if 1 inch represents 1.5 feet, what is the actual length of a 28-inch drawing?

• 28 feet

• 21 feet

• 42 feet

• 56 feet

In a scale drawing, if 2 inches represent 3 feet, how many feet does 9 inches represent?

• 9 feet

• 6 feet

• 13.5 feet

• 18 feet

What happens to the measurement of each side of a drawing when the scale changes from 1 cm = 3 m to 1 cm = 6 m?

• Each side remains the same

• Each side becomes half as long

• Each side becomes twice as long

• Each side becomes three times as long

If a rectangle is redrawn with a new scale of 1 cm = 6 m, what is the new length if the original was 24 m?

• 12 cm

• 4 cm

• 8 cm

• 6 cm
