Question

A model of the building is made using the scale 1 : 50.
The area of the building is 123.92 m^2
What is the area of the cross-section of the model?
Give your answer in square centimetres.

Answer 1

Answer:

$area=24784 cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the current building is $123.92 m^2$.

It is said that the building is scaled as 1:50.

So the model would be usually small so the area of the model would be

$\frac{123.92}{50} =2.4784$

The area of the model is $2.4784 m^2$

Converting this into square centimetres we get

$area=24784 cm^{2}$

Hence this would be the area of the model.
