1. Jeff makes a scale drawing of his bedroom. Every inch in his drawing represents 10 feet in his actual bedroom. The drawing is 1.25 in. wide and 1.5 in. long. What is the area of his drawing of the bedroom? What is the area of his actual bedroom? Show your work.​

Answer 1

Width of the drawing = 1.25 in

Length of the drawing = 1.5 in

Area of the drawing of the bedroom

= w × l

= 1.25 × 1.5

= 1.875 in²

Width of the bedroom = 1.25 × 10 × = 12.5 ft

Length of the drawing = 1.5 × 10 × = 15 ft

Area of the drawing of the bedroom

= w × l

= 12.5 × 15

= 187.5 in²
