Rectangle measures 10meters by 6 meters. Clarence makes a scale drawing of the rectangle in which the greater dimension is 2 meters what is the area of Clarence’s scale drawing
First, we need to determine the scale factor used by Clarence in his scale drawing.
The greater dimension of the original rectangle is 10 meters, while the greater dimension of the scale drawing is 2 meters.
Scale factor = new dimension / original dimension
Scale factor = 2 / 10
Scale factor = 0.2
Now, we need to calculate the area of Clarence's scale drawing.
Original area = 10m * 6m = 60 square meters
Scale drawing area = 0.2 * 0.2 * 60 = 0.04 * 60
Scale drawing area = 2.4 square meters
Therefore, the area of Clarence's scale drawing is 2.4 square meters.
