Question

A scale drawing of a living room is shown below.

Show your work to determine the area of the room in square feet.

(this is an essay make it good :))

Answer 1

A=80 square feet.

Explanation:

First, we find the area of the model. 6*4=24. Now, due to the ratio of 1:40, we know that every inch is actually forty inches. So, you do this:

24*40=960.

So, the area of the actual living room is 960 inches. Or 80 feet.
