Question

A scale drawing for a restaurant is shown below.

In the drawing, 3 cm represents 4 m.
Assuming the dining hall is rectangular, find the area of the real dining hall.

Answer 1

32 m^2

Explanation:

First find the real dimensions of the dining hall

The scale factor is 4m /3 cm

6 cm * 4m / 3cm = 8 m

3 cm * 4m / 3cm = 4 m

The area of the dining hall is

A = l*w

A = 8m * 4m = 32 m^2
