a room is shown with a width of 6 cm and a length of 8cm
If each 2 cm on the scale drawing equals 6 feet, what are the actual dimensions of the room?
A. Length = 16 feet, width = 12 feet
B. Length = 11 feet, width = 9 feet
C. Length = 24 feet, width = 18 feet
D. Length = 20 feet, width = 18 feet
A scale drawing of Jerome's living room is shown below: - 1
A. Length = 16 feet, width = 12 feet
To find the actual dimensions of the room, we first need to determine how many 2 cm intervals are in the length and width of the scale drawing.
Since each 2 cm on the scale drawing equals 6 feet in reality, we can calculate:
Length: 8 cm / 2 cm = 4 intervals
Width: 6 cm / 2 cm = 3 intervals
Now, we can find the actual dimensions by multiplying the number of intervals by 6 feet:
Length: 4 intervals * 6 feet = 24 feet
Width: 3 intervals * 6 feet = 18 feet
Therefore, the actual dimensions of the room are Length = 24 feet and Width = 18 feet, which matches option C.
