Question

Match the scale and the actual area to the area of the corresponding scale drawing.

Answer 1

for each scale, determine the ratio between square inches to square feet. to do this, you can simply square the ratio of the linear inches and feet.

for example, starting with the first item, 1 inch = 7 feet means 1 in^2 = 7^2 or 49 ft^2. for this item, the actual area is 147 ft^2. since each square inch is 49 square feet we can divide 147 by 49 to get 3 square inches for the scale drawing. repeat this logic for the other choices.
