Question

Can someone please help.

Answer 1

Multiply by the reciprocal scale factor. in other words multiply 48 x 6 and you should get 288 ft. ^2

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor of the blueprint of a theater stage to the actual theater stage is

$1\ in:6\ ft$

Since the area of the stage on the blueprint = 48 in²

So, we need to find the area of the actual stage :

$\frac{1}{6}=\frac{48}{\text{Area of actual stage}}\\\\ 6\times 48=\text{ Area of actual stage}\\\\288\ ft^2=\text{ Area of actual stage}$

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
