A rectangle measures 10 m x 6 m Clarence makes a scale drawing of the rectangle in which the greater dimension is 2 m. What is the area of Clarence’s scale drawing?

Question

0.2 Square meters
2.4 m²
60 m²
6.6 m²

Answer 1

The scale of the drawing is 2:10, which simplifies to 1:5. This means that the smaller dimension of the drawing is 6m/5 = 1.2m.

Therefore, the area of Clarence's scale drawing is 2m * 1.2m = 2.4 m².

So, the correct answer is 2.4 m².
