Question

A scale drawing of a dance floor is shown. What is the area of the actual dance floor? 22 cmon the top and bottom and 14 cm on the sides 5 cm equals 8 feet

Answer 1

The area of the dance floor will be 788.48ft²

Explanation:

Since 5cm represents 8ft, it means

1cm represents 8/5ft.

The scale length is 22cm, therefore the actual length would be

22 x 8/5ft = 35.2ft

The scale breadth is 14cm, therefore the actual breadth would be

14 x 8/5ft = 22.4ft

The area of the dance floor will be

(35.2ft)(22.4ft) = 788.48ft²
