Question

David is building a 1:120 scale model of a museum building. His model has a

rectangular base that is 3 feet wide and 2 feet long.
What is the area of the base of the actual museum in square feet?

Answer 1

`720`
`square`
`ft.`

Explanation:

Formula of Area:

L * W = A

2 feet long and 3 feet wide as it states in the question.

2 * 3

==> 6 feet.

Since the scale is a 120 model scale, this means it is actually 120 times bigger than the model, so:

6 * 120

==> 720 square feet
