Answer:
72 inch²
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangular classroom
Length=36ft
Width=32ft
scale drawing length = 9 inches
Scale drawing width=x
Ratio of the length to the scale drawing length = 36/9
Ratio of the width to the scale drawing width=32/x
To find x
36/9=32/x
Cross product
36x=32*9
x=288/36
=8
x=8
Area of a rectangle= length × width
Length=9 inches
Width=8 inches
Area of the rectangular classroom= 9 inches × 8 inches
=72 inch²
