To find the actual dimensions of the room in feet, we'll use the scale given in the question, which is 1/2 in. = 1 ft.
Step 1: Start with the dimensions of the room given in the scale drawing: 8 inches by 6.5 inches.
Step 2: Convert the inches to feet using the scale. Since the scale is 1/2 in. = 1 ft, we need to divide the dimensions of the room by 2 to convert them to feet.
8 inches ÷ 2 = 4 feet
6.5 inches ÷ 2 = 3.25 feet
Therefore, the actual dimensions of the room in feet are 4 feet by 3.25 feet.
