To determine the area of the room in square feet, you first need to calculate the area of the room in square inches using the scale drawing provided.
Let's assume the dimensions of the room in the scale drawing are 60 inches by 50 inches.
Using the scale of 1:20, you would need to divide the dimensions by 20 to get the actual dimensions of the room.
Actual length = 60 inches / 20 = 3 feet
Actual width = 50 inches / 20 = 2.5 feet
Now calculate the area of the room in square feet:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 3 feet x 2.5 feet
Area = 7.5 square feet
Therefore, the area of the room in square feet is 7.5 square feet.
So, it seems that the initial calculation of 41.67 square feet is not correct.
A scale drawing of a kitchen is shown below. The scale is 1 : 20.
Show your work to determine the area of the room in square feet
About 41.67 square feet. Length x Width = Area = 3000 square inches. Then turn it to square feet/ 41.67.
Is this correct?
