Will had a scale drawing of his bedroom. The width was 3 inches and the length was 4 inches. If the scale was 1 inch=3.5 feet, what is the area of the actual bedroom?



Answer :

given the scale is : 1 inch = 3.5 feet

The width = 3 inches , so, the actual width = 3 * 3.5 = 10.5 feet

The length = 4 inches , so, the actual length = 4 * 3.5 = 14 feet

so, the area of the actual bedroom = length x width = 14 * 10.5 = 147 square feet
