The actual length of kitchen island is 3 feet, and its width is 2 feet. The area of the scale diagram of the island is __square centimeters.

Answer 1

24 is the correct answer

Answer 2

The area of the scale diagram of the island is 96 square centimeters.

Explanation:

Given is that : Dean uses a scale of 4 centimeters to 1 foot.

Means 1 foot is equal to 4 cm in the scale drawing.

The actual length of kitchen island is 3 feet, and its width is 2 feet.

This gives length as =
`3*4=12` cm

Width as =
`2*4=8` cm

So, the area will be
`12*8=96` square cm.

Therefore, the area of the scale diagram of the island is 96 square centimeters.
