Question

The scale model of a rectangular garden is 1.5 ft by 4 ft. The scale model is enlarged by a scale factor of 7 to create the actual garden. What is the area of the actual garden?
6 Feet squared
42 Feet squared
252 Feet squared
294 Feet squared

Answer 1

So just like the other one we did, you multiply your scale factor by your original measurements.

\(\color{lime}{1.5 \times 4}\) -> Your original area

Then you can multiply the scale factor.

\(\color{lime}{(1.5 \times 7) \times (4 \times 7)}\) -> Your new area

Answer 2

The way it works is pretty simple, if your scale factor is a fraction, you're "decreasing" the area, and if it's a whole number, you're "increasing" your area.

Answer 3

can you dumb it down

Answer 4

\(\color{lime}{(1.5 \times 7) \times (4 \times 7)}\)
