A scale drawing of Jack's living room is shown below:

A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled as length equal to 6 cm, and the width is labeled as width equal to 4 cm.
If each 2 cm on the scale drawing equals 10 feet, what are the actual dimensions of the room?
Length = 11 feet, width = 9 feet

Length = 30 feet, width = 20 feet

Length = 8 feet, width = 12 feet

Length = 22 feet, width = 20 feet

1 answer

To find the actual dimensions of the room, we need to convert the scale drawing to the actual dimensions using the given scale.

1 cm on the scale drawing represents 5 feet in actuality.

The length of the room in actuality = 6 cm x 5 feet = 30 feet
The width of the room in actuality = 4 cm x 5 feet = 20 feet

Therefore, the actual dimensions of the room are:
Length = 30 feet, width = 20 feet.

So, the correct answer is: Length = 30 feet, width = 20 feet.
