1 inch on the drawing is 30 inches in real life

that would be 495
OpenStudy (danjs):
5.5 * 30 = 165 in divide by 12 to get feet = 13.75ft
3*30 = 90 in divide by 12 to get ft = 7.5 ft
OpenStudy (anonymous):
uhhhhhhh
OpenStudy (danjs):
now the area in square feet is
13.75 * 7.5 = 103.125 ft^2
OpenStudy (danjs):
so it is 103 ft^2
