Question

A scale drawing of a room is shown below. In the drawing, the room is 7 1/2 inches long and 5 inches wide. What is the actual area of the room? Please help

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the room is 37.5 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider that the room is rectangular in shape.

The dimensions of the rooms are:

Length (l) = 7.5 inches

Breadth (b) = 5 inches

The area of a rectangle is:

Area = l × b

Compute the area of the room as follows:

Area = l × b

        $=7.5\times 5\\=37.5$

Thus, the area of the room is 37.5 square inches.
