Question 5 (Essay Worth 5 points)

Answer 1

Answer: 266.7 sq feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given scale is 1:40 which means 1 inch of rectangle drawn= 40 inches

The length of the room = $40\times6=240\ inches$

The width of the room= $40\times4=160\ inches$

Now, the area of the rectangular room = $length \times width$

⇒ The area of the rectangular room=$240\times160=38400\ sq\ inches$

Also $1 inch=\frac{1}{12}\ feet$

Therefore, the area of the rectangular room=$\frac{38400}{12\times12}=266.666\approx266.7\ sq feet$
