I just dont under stand this Q
Q:Amoble of an apartment is shown where 1/4 inch represent 3 feet in the actual apartment. Determine the actual area of the master bedroom.
Plz help me
I don't understand it either. Is it possible that you mean a model of an apartment?
Also -- you haven't told us the dimensions of the bedroom on the model.
To determine the actual area of the master bedroom in the apartment, you need to use the given scale: 1/4 inch represents 3 feet in the actual apartment.
Here's how you can solve it step by step:
Step 1: Identify the measurement given in the scale.
In this case, the scale tells us that 1/4 inch represents 3 feet.
Step 2: Determine the scale factor.
To find the scale factor, you need to convert the measurement in the scale to an equivalent measurement in the actual apartment. Since 1/4 inch represents 3 feet, you can set up a proportion to find the scale factor:
1/4 inch = 3 feet
To find the scale factor, cross-multiply and solve for the unknown:
1 inch * x = 4 * 3 feet
x = 12
Therefore, the scale factor is 12. This means that every measurement in the drawing needs to be multiplied by 12 to get the actual measurement in the apartment.
Step 3: Measure the master bedroom on the drawing.
Use a ruler or any measuring tool to measure the length and width of the master bedroom on the drawing. Let's assume you measure the length to be 6 inches and the width to be 4 inches.
Step 4: Convert the measurements to actual apartment dimensions.
Multiply the measurements on the drawing by the scale factor to find the actual dimensions. In this case, multiply the length and width (6 inches and 4 inches) by the scale factor of 12:
Length: 6 inches * 12 = 72 feet
Width: 4 inches * 12 = 48 feet
Step 5: Calculate the actual area of the master bedroom.
To find the area, multiply the actual length and width of the master bedroom:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 72 feet * 48 feet = 3,456 square feet
Therefore, the actual area of the master bedroom in the apartment is 3,456 square feet.
