Question

In the diagram of an apartment, each inch represents 6 feet. Which is the area of the apartment's balcony?

Answer 1

Answer should be (72 square feet)

Answer 2

72 square feet

Explanation:

Since you already know the 2 inches, you just need to find out the other side, and by subtracting the longer side 6 inches, to the shorter side on the furthest side 5 inches, you get 1 inch. And since each inch represents 6 feet, the final equation would be 12 (2x6) x 6 (1x6). So the answer would be 72 square feet.
