Question

The area of a square floor on a scale drawing is 100 square centimeters, and the scale drawing is 1 centimeter:2 ft. What is the area of the actual floor? What is the ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area?

The area of the actual floor is ................... square feet.
The ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area is 1 square centimeter:............. square ft

Answer 1

Answer: Ok let's say the area is 100 sq cm because it is 10x10 square. Now if 1 cm is 2 ft then 10 cm is 20 ft. So 20 x 20 is 400 sq ft which is the actual area.

1 sq cm = 4 sq ft

Good luck!
