To find the area of Clarence's scale drawing, we need to first find the scale factor used to create the drawing. The greater dimension on the scale drawing is 2 meters, and the actual greater dimension of the rectangle is 10 meters.
Scale factor = 2 / 10 = 0.2
Now, we can find the actual dimensions of the rectangle in Clarence's scale drawing:
Greater dimension = 10 meters x 0.2 = 2 meters
Smaller dimension = 6 meters x 0.2 = 1.2 meters
The area of Clarence's scale drawing is:
Area = 2 meters x 1.2 meters = 2.4 square meters
Therefore, the area of Clarence's scale drawing is 2.4 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)
