To find the actual length of the shorter side of the floor, we first need to find the scale factor.
Scale factor = Actual length of longer side / Length of longer side in scale drawing
Scale factor = 32 feet / 8 inches = 48
Now, we can find the actual length of the shorter side of the floor using the scale factor.
Actual length of shorter side = Scale factor x Length of shorter side in scale drawing
Actual length of shorter side = 48 x 5 inches = 240 inches
To convert the actual length from inches to feet:
Actual length of shorter side = 240 inches / 12 inches/foot = 20 feet
Therefore, the actual length of the shorter side of the rectangular classroom floor is 20 feet.
Scale factor = Actual length of longer side / Length of longer side in scale drawing
Scale factor = 32 feet / 8 inches = 48
Now, we can find the actual length of the shorter side of the floor using the scale factor.
Actual length of shorter side = Scale factor x Length of shorter side in scale drawing
Actual length of shorter side = 48 x 5 inches = 240 inches
To convert the actual length from inches to feet:
Actual length of shorter side = 240 inches / 12 inches/foot = 20 feet
Therefore, the actual length of the shorter side of the rectangular classroom floor is 20 feet.
