The rectangular floor of a classroom is 32 feet in length and 30 feet in width. A scale drawing of the floor has a length of 16 inches. What is the area, in square inches, of the floor in the scale drawing?

Answer 1

Answer: 240 square inches

Explanation:

The lengths in the scale drawing is half the length of the lengths of the real floor.

length = 32 feet = 16 inches

width = 30 feet = 15 inches

Area = l * w

= 16 * 15

= 240 square inches
