The area of the scale drawing can be calculated using the scale factor between the actual dimensions and the dimensions in the scale drawing.
The scale factor is given by 2 (greater dimension of the scale drawing) / 10 (greater dimension of the actual rectangle) = 1/5.
Therefore, the area of Clarence's scale drawing is (1/5)^2 * (10 * 6) = 4 * 60 = 240 square meters.
A rectangle measures 10 meters 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?(1 point)
