Question

Jacob Sketched a floor plan for a new two room clubhouse . In his sketch each centimeter was equal to 1.5 feet . The largest room on his clubhouse plan measured 6.2 cm by 7.4 cm. How many square feet would the actual room be? Round you answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

103.23 square feet

Explanation:

Area of the largest room = length × width

Each centimeter was equal to 1.5 feet

7.4 cm = 1.5 × 7.4 = 11.1 feet

6.2 cm = 1.5 × 6.2 = 9.3 feet

Length = 11.1 feet

Width = 9.3 feet

Area of the largest room = length × width

= 11.1 feet × 9.3 feet

= 103.23 square feet
