To find the area of the scale drawing, we need to determine the side length of the scaled square.
Since Rowen is using a scale factor of 1.5, we can multiply the original side length (3 inches) by the scale factor to find the length of the scaled square.
Scaled Side Length = Original Side Length × Scale Factor
Scaled Side Length = 3 inches × 1.5
Scaled Side Length = 4.5 inches
Now that we have the side length of the scaled square (4.5 inches), we can find its area by multiplying the length of one side by itself.
Area of the Scale Drawing = Scaled Side Length × Scaled Side Length
Area of the Scale Drawing = 4.5 inches × 4.5 inches
Area of the Scale Drawing = 20.25 square inches
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 20.25 square inches.
To find the area of the scale drawing, we need to multiply the side length of the original square by the scale factor squared.
The original square measures 3 inches on each side.
Therefore, the side length of the scale drawing would be 3 inches x 1.5 = 4.5 inches.
To find the area of the scale drawing, we will square the side length of the scale drawing:
Area of scale drawing = (4.5 inches)^2 = 20.25 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 20.25 square inches.
The side length of the scale drawing would be 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 inches.
The area of the scale drawing would be (4.5 inches)² = 20.25 square inches.
Answer: 20.25
