A scale drawing of Julie's living room is shown below:
A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled as length equal to 8 cm, and the width is labeled as width equal to 6 cm.
If each 2 cm on the scale drawing equals 4 feet, what are the actual dimensions of the room?
(5 points)
Group of answer choices
Length = 16 feet, width = 12 feet
Length = 32 feet, width = 24 feet
Length = 10 feet, width = 8 feet
Length = 14 feet, width = 12 feet
To find the actual dimensions of the room, we need to use the scale provided: 2 cm on the scale drawing equals 4 feet in reality.
The length of the room on the scale drawing is 8 cm. To find the actual length:
8 cm * 4 feet/2 cm = 16 feet
The width of the room on the scale drawing is 6 cm. To find the actual width:
6 cm * 4 feet/2 cm = 12 feet
Therefore, the actual dimensions of the room are:
Length = 16 feet, width = 12 feet
So, the correct answer is:
Length = 16 feet, width = 12 feet
