Question

A scale drawing for a plot of land is shown below.
In the drawing, 2 cm represents 3m .
Assuming the backyard is rectangular, find the area of the real backyard.

Answer 1

The area of real backyard is 72 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of rectangular backyard = 8 cm

Width of rectangular backyard = 4 cm

According to scale;

2 cm = 3 m

1 cm = $\frac{3}{2} = 1.5\ m$

Real length of backyard = 8*1.5 = 12 m

Real width of backyard = 4*1.5 = 6 m

Real area of backyard = Length * Width

Real area of backyard = 12*6 = 72m²

The area of real backyard is 72 square meters.
