Question

A scale drawing of a bathroom is shown below:

A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 2 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 3.5 inches. The scale is 1 to 20.

What is the area of the actual bathroom in square feet? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

7 ft2

19 ft2

12 ft2

140 ft2

Answer 1

scale is 1 inch to 20 inch ?

Answer 2

Ok. Im going to assume it's 1in:20in

In that case. Multiply each side by 20 first.

2in * 20 = 40 in
3.5in * 20 = 70 in

Multiply both sides to get the area in inches square.

40 in * 70 in = 2800 in^2

Answer 3

divide that by 144 in^2. We do this because conversion for in^2 and ft^2 is

1 ft^2 = 144 in^2

Answer 4

I get 19.444 ft^2

rounded down to 19 ft^2
