Question

The scale factor of the blueprint of a gymnasium to the actual gymnasium is 1in/15ft . The area of the floor on the blueprint is 114 in2. What is the area of the actual gymnasium?
a 384,750 ft2
b25,650 ft2
c5130 ft2
d1710 ft2

Answer 1

B) 25, 650 ft^2
If the ratio is 1:15, then the measurements of each side of the actual gym are 15 times greater than the scale's. So the areas would have a ratio of 1:225. 114 times 225 is equal to 25, 650
