Since the longer side of the floor in the drawing is 8 inches and the scale factor is 4 (32 feet divided by 8 inches), we can calculate the actual dimensions of the floor by multiplying the dimensions of the drawing by the scale factor.
Actual length = 8 inches * 4 = 32 feet
Actual width = 5 inches * 4 = 20 feet
Now, we can calculate the actual area of the floor:
Actual area = Actual length * Actual width
Actual area = 32 feet * 20 feet
Actual area = 640 square feet
Therefore, the actual area of the rectangular classroom floor is 640 square feet.
The scale drawing of the rectangular classroom floor has dimensions of 8 inches by 5 inches. The actual length of the longer side of the floor is 32 feet. What is the actual area of the floor in square feet? let it be right please
