Question

Logan’s town is building a volleyball court based on a scale drawing that is 20 centimeters by 40 centimeters and uses the scale 1 cm:45 cm. What is the area of the actual court in square meters?

Answer 1

1.62m^2

Explanation:

From the problem statement, the scale of the drawing is

1cm:45cm (meaning that 1cm on the drawing represent 45cm in reality ofr actual)

first,let us convert 20cm to the actual drawing

20cm in actual will give 20*45=900cm

to meters =900/100= 0.9m

Secondly let us convert 40cm to the actual drawing

20cm in actual will give 40*45=1800cm

to meters =1800/1000= 1.8m

Now we can calculate the actual area in meters we have

area= 0.9*1.8

area= 1.62m^2
