Question

Shania Is making a scale diagram of the badminton court at the community center. She uses a scale of 1 centimeter to 0.5 meter to draw the scale diagram. If the scale length of the badminton court is 26.8 centimeters and the scale width is 12.2 centimeters, what is the actual area of the court.

Answer 1

To find the answer, we need to multiply the length and width by .5

26.8/2=13.4

12.2/2=6.1

To find the area, we multiply the length by the width.

The real area of the court would be 81.74.

This was a tough one! Hope this helps!
