The actual areas is 1125 in²
A scale drawing can be described as a drawing of an original image that is reduced by a constant proportion to the original image.
scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing
The scale used by Joseph = 2 cm : 5 inches
This can be simplified further by dividing by 2
1 cm : 2.5 inches
Based on the image, the dimensions of the grill are 10 cm x 18cm
The length of the actual grill = 18 x 2.5 = 45 inches
The width of the actual grill = 10 x 2.5 = 25 inches
Area of a rectangle = length x width
Area of the actual space for the grill = 25 x 45 = 1125 in²
