The rectangular floor of a classroom is 40 feet in length and 34 feet in width. A scale drawing of the floor has a length of 20 inches. What is the area, in square inches, of the floor in the scale drawing?

Step By Step: Okay, so we have that. The Rectangular four of the classroom is 36 x 32 ft. And we have a skilled drawing where the length is nine, and I'm guessing who you want to know or with to find the area. So we'll equate this to 36 ft Over 32 ft. So first we'll cross multiply nine and 32 and divide by 36 to find X or with. So thus we have nine times eight inches Equalling 72" squared. And so that's the area of the floor and the scale drawing.
