A scale drawing of Jade's living room is shown below:
width = 4 cm
length = 6 cm
If each 2 cm on the scale drawing equals 6 feet, what are the actual dimensions of the room? (1 point)
A Length = 12 feet, width = 8 feet
B Length = 9 feet, width = 7 feet
C Length = 18 feet, width = 12 feet
D Length = 14 feet, width = 12 feet

To find the actual dimensions of the room, we need to use the scale provided.
According to the scale, each 2 cm on the drawing represents 6 feet in reality.
The width of the drawing is 4 cm, so we can find the actual width of the room by multiplying it by the conversion factor:
Width of the room = Width of the drawing × Conversion factor
= 4 cm × (6 feet / 2 cm)
= 4 cm × 3
= 12 feet
Similarly, the length of the drawing is 6 cm, so we can find the actual length of the room:
Length of the room = Length of the drawing × Conversion factor
= 6 cm × (6 feet / 2 cm)
= 6 cm × 3
= 18 feet
Therefore, the actual dimensions of the room are:
Length = 18 feet
Width = 12 feet
So, the correct answer is C. Length = 18 feet, width = 12 feet.
