aiden is buying a house and looking at blueprints to make his decision. if 5 cm on the scale drawing below is equal to 9 yards , what is the area of the living room
3 answers
The area of the living room is 45 square yards (5 cm x 9 yards = 45 square yards).
The first to answer is correct.. or so I would hope. Otherwise, I may need to go back to school.
you need both the length and the width
Area = L in cm * W in cm = L * W cm^2 in cm^2
then
multiply by (9 yards / 5 cm)^2 or (81/25) to get yards^2
Area = L in cm * W in cm = L * W cm^2 in cm^2
then
multiply by (9 yards / 5 cm)^2 or (81/25) to get yards^2
