A scale drawing of a living room is shown below: A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 3 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 5.5 inches. The scale is 1 to 30. What is the area of the actual living room in square feet? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

To find the area of the actual living room in square feet, we first need to find the area of the rectangle in square inches.

The length of the rectangle is 3 inches and the width is 5.5 inches. So, the area of the rectangle is 3 inches * 5.5 inches = 16.5 square inches.

Now, we need to convert the area from square inches to square feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, there are 12^2 = 144 square inches in a square foot.

So, the area of the actual living room in square feet is 16.5 square inches / 144 square inches per square foot = 0.1145833 square feet.

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the area of the actual living room in square feet is 0 square feet. Answer: \boxed{0}.
