Question

The floor plan of a house has a length of 12cm and a width of 9 cm.The scale used is 3cm:2cm. What is the actual area of the floor?

Answer 1

@SilverFox18 we have the scale as 3:2 for the floor plan
this means the dimensions mentioned in the floor plan 3/2 or 1.5 times of the actual dimensions.
this means actual length= (length in floor plan)/1.5
do you get this?

Answer 2

Yes. :D
Thank you.

Answer 3

@SilverFox18 so you could find the actual width and the actual area?

Answer 4

So what I'm only going to do is... Divide the said dimensions by 1.5,right?

Answer 5

yeah,
actual length= length/1.5
actual width= width /1.5
actual area= actual length* actual width

Answer 6

Yay. Thank you so muuuuch. <3

Answer 7

welcome:)
