Question

the image shows the scaled drawing of a parking lot outside of an office building. the scale drawing to the actual parking is 1 inch to 1 1/2 meters.

Answer 1

450m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is a rectangle

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Length = 10in

Width = 20in

Area of the rectangle = 10*20

Area of the rectangle = 200in^2

According to the scale;

1 in = 1 1/2 m

1 in^2 = (1 1/2)^2 m^2

1 in^2 = (3/2)^2 m^2

1 in^2 = 9/4 m^2

200in^2 = x

x = 200 * 9/4

x = 1800/4

x = 450m^2

Hence the actual area is 450m^2
