Question 1 of 8

Calculator allowed

A pair of road-layout symbols is recorded as original Figure A and image Figure B

Corresponding dimensions are named in the same order. Every stated length uses m

Figure A: width 5 m; height 7 m

Figure B: width 10 m; height 14 m

Every angle in both figures is 90°, with corners corresponding in the listed order

Both grids use the same scale. Each small grid square is 1 m wide and 1 m high

Figure A (original)

Figure A is a rectangle with vertices (0, 0), (5, 0), (5, 7) and (0, 7); its width is 5 m, its height is 7 m, and all four angles are 90°.36902468101214mm

Figure B (image)

Figure B is a rectangle with vertices (0, 0), (10, 0), (10, 14) and (0, 14); its width is 10 m, its height is 14 m, and all four angles are 90°.36902468101214mm
