(8x4)= 32. So, now you do 32x5, that equals 160. So your answer is 160 feet squared. Or 40 inches squared, on the blueprint.

The scale given here is 1 inch to 4 feet.

let us convert the room measure as per the given scale.

Converting 8 inches first we have 8*4 =32 feet.

The other dimension is in feet only that is 5 feet.

Now finding the area = 32 *5 = 160 square feet.


Answer: The actual area of kitchen is 160 square feet.
