The scale is 1 : 30. A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 3 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 4 inches. Show your work to determine the area of the room in square feet.First, we need to convert the measurements of the rectangle from inches to feet, since the question asks for the area in square feet. 3 inches = 3/12 feet = 0.25 feet 4 inches = 4/12 feet = 0.33 feet Now, we can use the scale to determine the actual dimensions of the room. If 1 inch on the drawing represents 30 inches in real life, then: 1 foot on the drawing represents 30 feet in real life So, the length of the room is: 1 foot on the drawing = 30 feet in real life 3 inches on the drawing = 3/12 feet = 0.25 feet in real life 0.25 feet x 30 = 7.5 feet And the width of the room is: 1 foot on the drawing =
