Question

The scale model of a rectangular patio will be enlarged by a scale factor of 2.5 to create the actual patio. The actual patio will be 15 feet by 20 feet. Which is the area of the scale model?

Answer 1

48 square feet
60 square feet
120 square feet
300 square feet

Answer 2

option choices

Answer 3

Well I think for this one you would divide each number by 2.5 to find what the scale model was:

15/2.5=6
20/2.5=8

So based on this we know that the scale model was 6 by 8

As we know, area is length times width.
6*8=area
6*8=48
Area=48 feet

So 48 feet would be your answer.

Answer 4

So because A is 48 square feet, that is what you would choose.
