Question

A scale drawing of a game room is shown below:

A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 2 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 4.5 inches. The scale is 1 to 30.

What is the area of the actual game room in square feet? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

9 ft2

23 ft2

56 ft2

270 ft

Answer 1

Convert to real scale based on proportion of 1:30

4.5 * 30 = 135 inches
2 * 30 = 60 inches

135 * 60 = 8100 inches^2 however we need this in feet and because we solved for area we need to divide by 12in^2*12in*^2

8100/144 = 56.25 or roughly 56 ft^2
