The scale factor of a room for a scale drawing is 2.3. The actual length of a wall in the room is 46 feet and the actual width of the room is 69 feet. What is the area of the scale drawing?
Question
Answer:
There's two ways to solve this.First way:
Let's divide the width and length by 2.3.
46÷2.3=20
69÷2.3=30
20×30
600 ft²
Second Way:
Let's find the area of the actual room.
46×69
3,174 ft²
Let's find the scale drawing squared.
2.3²=5.29
3,174÷5.29
600 ft²
