Answer 1

Answer:

The area of real patio is 50m².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of patio = 3 cm

Width of patio = 6 cm

According to scale =

3 cm = 5m

1 cm = \frac{5}{3}\ m35 m

6 cm = \frac{5}{3}*6 = 10\ m35∗6=10 m

Real length of patio = 5 m

Real width of patio = 10 m

Area = Length*width

\begin{gathered}Area=5*10\\Area=50\ m^2\end{gathered}

Area=5∗10Area=50 m2

The area of real patio is 50m².
