7) On an architect's drawing of a house, 1 inch represents 1.5 feet.

. If the bedroom window is 5 inches long on the drawing and 4 inches wide...
Part A: What are the actual dimensions of the window on the real house?
Part B: What is the perimeter and area of the window in real life?

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to figure out the actual dimensions for Part A, you need to turn the inches into feet. If the window is 5 inches long and 1 inch is 1.5 feet, you multiply 1.5 and 5 to get 7.5 feet long. Same goes for the length. which will be 1.5×4 which equals 6 ft wide.

For part B, the perimeter is equal to all the side lengths added. The equation would be 6+6+7.5+7.5 which equals 27 ft. Area is equal to the length times the width. The equation would be 6×7.5 which comes out to 45 ft!

I hope this helped! Feel free to ask any questions!
