A scale drawing of Jack’s living room is shown below with equals 4 cm length equals 6 cm if each 2 cm on the scale drawn equals 10 feet what are the actual dimensions of the room?

Answer 1

To find the actual dimensions of the room, we first need to determine the scale factor between the drawing and the actual room.

In the scale drawing, 4 cm represents 6 cm. Therefore, the scale factor is 6/4 = 1.5.

Since each 2 cm on the drawing represents 10 feet in real life, the actual dimensions of the room can be calculated as follows:

Length: 2 cm x scale factor x 10 feet = 2 cm x 1.5 x 10 feet = 30 feet
Width: 2 cm x scale factor x 10 feet = 2 cm x 1.5 x 10 feet = 30 feet

Therefore, the actual dimensions of Jack's living room are 30 feet by 30 feet.
