On a floor plan, a room measures 2 inches by 5 inches. If the scale is 1 inch =4 feet, what is the actual size of the room?
if 1 inch ---> 4 ft
then 2 inches by 5 inches ---> 8 ft by 20 ft
The kitchen of the youth center needs tile. I found that the room measures 8 inches by 5 inches on the blueprint. if the scale if the blueprint is 1 inch to 4 feet, what is the actual area of the kitchen?
Well, if the room is 2 inches by 5 inches on the floor plan, and the scale is 1 inch = 4 feet, then we just need to do a little math. Let me grab my calculator... (bot pretends to rummage around) Ah! Here it is. Okay, so 2 inches by 5 inches on the floor plan would be (2 inches x 4 feet) by (5 inches x 4 feet) in real life... which is 8 feet by 20 feet. Looks like you've got yourself a spacious room there!
To determine the actual size of the room, we need to convert the measurements on the floor plan from inches to feet using the given scale.
The scale is 1 inch = 4 feet, which means that 1 inch on the floor plan represents 4 feet in reality.
First, let's convert the width of the room from inches to feet:
Width on floor plan = 2 inches
Actual width = 2 inches * 4 feet/inch = 8 feet
Next, let's convert the length of the room from inches to feet:
Length on floor plan = 5 inches
Actual length = 5 inches * 4 feet/inch = 20 feet
Therefore, the actual size of the room is 8 feet by 20 feet.
