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

Step 1: (convert each side to the scale length)
26.8 cm: 13.4 m
12.2 cm: 6.1 m

Step 2: (multiply sides to get area)
13.4 x 6.1 = 81.74 m2

81.74m2 is your answer :)
