The scale drawing is of a backyard tennis court. The scale is 1 cmequals2 m. What is the actual area of the tennis court?
length
width
13 cm
4.5 cm
To find the actual area of the tennis court, we first need to convert the measurements in the scale drawing to the actual measurements.
The length in the scale drawing is 13 cm, so the actual length is:
13 cm x 2 m/cm = 26 m
The width in the scale drawing is 4.5 cm, so the actual width is:
4.5 cm x 2 m/cm = 9 m
Now, we can calculate the actual area of the tennis court by multiplying the actual length by the actual width:
Actual Area = 26 m x 9 m = 234 m^2
Therefore, the actual area of the tennis court is 234 square meters.
