1 centimeter to 6 inches to draw the diagram. The actual length of the aquarium face is 5 feet, and its width is 2 feet. 1cm = 6 inches 5 feet . 2 feet. 60 inches . 24 inches yea?

snowflake0531:

And because it's 1cm=6inches and we have 60 inches 24 inches We have to make them to centimeters, by dividing them by 6 So, we have 10 cm . 4 cm

To calculate the perimeter 10+4=14 14*2=28 28 cm
