Question

The layout of a playground uses the scale 1:50. If the dimensions of the playground in the layout are given by 180 cm x 240 cm, what is the actual area of the playground in square meters?

Answer 1

The area of the playground of dimensions 18 and 240is 432 $m^{2}$.

Given  If the dimensions of the playground in the layout are given by 180 cm x 240 cm.

The area of rectangle is length *breadth.

The given playground is in the shape of rectangle because there are two sides given and both the sides are different. In a rectangle length of opposite side found to be equal and each side form an angle of 90 degree.

Area=length*breadth

=180*240

=43200 $cm^{2}$

We have to convert in meters so we have to divide by 100.

Area=43200 $cm^{2}$

=43200/100

=432 $m^{2}$

Hence the area of playground having dimensions 180 cm and 240 cm is 432$m^{2}$.
