Answer:
B. 2,500
Explanation:
The diagram of the area of the store has been divided A and B as shown in the attachment below.
Dimensions of A:
(*Note: scale = 1 in to 16 ft)
Length = 4 inches
Actual length = 4*16 = 64 ft
Width = 1¾ inches
Actual width = 1¾*16 = 28 ft
Area of A = length * width = 64*28 = 1,792 ft²
Dimensions of B:
(*Note: scale = 1 in to 16 ft)
Length = 2¼ inches
Actual length = 2¼*16 = 36 ft
Width = 3 inches - 1¾ inches = 1¼ inches
Actual width = 1¼*16 = 20 ft
Area of A = length * width = 36*20 = 720 ft²
Area of the store = area of A and area of B = 1,792 + 720 = 2,512 ft²
Approximately, the are is 2,500 ft²
