A scale drawing of a bedroom is shown below. The scale is 1 : 30.
A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 3 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 4 inches.
Show your work to determine the area of the room in square feet.
To find the area of the room in square feet, we first need to find the actual dimensions of the room using the scale of 1:30.
Length of the room in actual size = 3 inches * 30 = 90 inches
Width of the room in actual size = 4 inches * 30 = 120 inches
Now, we can calculate the area of the room in square feet:
Area = (90 inches * 120 inches) / (12 inches/foot) / (12 inches/foot)
Area = (10800 square inches) / 144
Area = 75 square feet
Therefore, the area of the room is 75 square feet.
