Question

Armando constructs a scale model of a building with a rectangular base. His model is 3 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width. The scale on the model is 1 inch = 35 feet. What is the actual area, in square feet, of the base of the building? *

Answer 1

we have that the actual length is 3*35=105 feet and the actual width is 1.5*35=52.5 feet. So the area is:

`105\cdot52.5=5512.5ft^2`
