Question

The area of a square floor on a scale drawing is 25 square centimeters, and the scale drawing is 1 centimeter:5 ft. What is the area of the actual floor? What is the ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area?

Answer 1

`625ft^(2)`

Explanation:

First get the l by finding the square root of the area

`√(25)` = 5cm

since 1cm = 5ft

what about 5cm =?

(5cm×5ft)/1cm

l=25ft

area of the actual floor is l × l

`25^(2)`

which is
`625ft^(2)`
