MY MATH TEACHER WANTS IS TO BUILD A HOUSE AND THE MEASUREMENTS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE A TOTAL OF 2100 SQUARE FEET AND IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE FOR EVER 1 INCH IS 2 SQUARE FEET DO HOW MANY INCHES WOULD THAT BE AND I WAS THINKING OF MAKING IT OUT OF POP STICKS BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGAN IT HAS TO BE A 3 BEDROOM HOUSE WITH BATHROOM LIVINGROOM AND KITCHEN. PLEASE HELP ME IT'S DO MONDAY
A linear length (inch) cannot represent an area (square feet). Either an inch represents 2 feet or a square inch represents 2 square feet. Which is it?
Make up a floor plan of a house similar to one that you know or would like. It should be fun.
Decide if you want one or two stories. Allows for a stairway iof necessary.
For an idea of a floor plan, see

To calculate the number of inches needed to build a house with a total of 2100 square feet, and assuming that every 1 inch corresponds to 2 square feet, you can follow these steps:
1. Convert the total square footage into the number of square inches:
2100 square feet * 144 square inches/square foot = 302,400 square inches
2. Divide the total square inches by the conversion factor of 2 square feet per inch:
302,400 square inches / 2 square feet per inch = 151,200 inches
Therefore, you would need approximately 151,200 inches to build a house with a total of 2100 square feet using the given scale.
Regarding your plan to build the house out of pop sticks, here's a suggested approach to get started:
1. Create a scaled drawing or blueprint of the house: Using graph paper or any drawing software, design a floor plan for the house, including the layout for the 3 bedrooms, bathroom, living room, and kitchen. Ensure that you include accurate measurements for each room.
2. Determine the scale of your model: Since you're using pop sticks, you can define a scale such as 1 inch on the blueprint represents 1 pop stick or any other convenient ratio.
3. Calculate the dimensions for each room: Measure the length and width of each room on your drawing, and multiply those dimensions by the scale you've chosen. This will give you the lengths of pop sticks you need to cut for each room.
4. Cut and assemble the pop sticks: Use a craft knife or scissors to cut the pop sticks to the appropriate lengths based on your calculations. Assemble the pieces together using glue, tape, or any other suitable adhesive.
5. Build the rooms individually: Start by constructing each room separately before combining them into the overall structure of the house. Begin with the walls, and then add the floor and roof.
6. Add details: Once you have the basic structure, you can add more details such as doors, windows, furniture, and other features using additional pop sticks or other materials as needed.
Remember to allow yourself enough time and plan accordingly to complete the project by Monday. Good luck with your math assignment!
