Question

A scale drawing of a dance floor is shown. What is the area of the
actual dance floor? Write answer in complete sentence writing the units as feet square.

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is length times width or l*w or lw

so the length being 22 cm and width 14 cm

22*14 = 308 cm

the area of the dance floor is 308 square cm of the scale drawing...

it says that 5cm in the scale drawing is 8 ft in reality...

so 35.2 ft and 22.4 ft are the new length and width respectively

so 35.2 times 22.4 is the actual floor area

788.48 ft

Hope this helps ;)
