The scale drawing of the rectangular classroom floor has dimensions of 8 inches by 5 inches. The actual length of the longer side of the floor is 32 feet. What is the actual area of the floor in square feet? let it be right please
Since the longer side of the floor in the drawing is 8 inches and the scale factor is 4 (32 feet divided by 8 inches), we can calculate the actual dimensions of the floor by multiplying the dimensions of the drawing by the scale factor.
Actual length = 8 inches * 4 = 32 feet
Actual width = 5 inches * 4 = 20 feet
Now, we can calculate the actual area of the floor:
Actual area = Actual length * Actual width
Actual area = 32 feet * 20 feet
Actual area = 640 square feet
Therefore, the actual area of the rectangular classroom floor is 640 square feet.
