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

The actual length :
26.8 * 0.5 = 13.4 meters

The actual width :
12.2 * 0.5 = 6.1 meters

The actual area of the court:
13.4 * 6.1 = 81.74 meters square
