Answer:
The other side = 13 feets long
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Scale of drawing : 2 inches represents 5 feets
Area of rectangular room according to scale drawing = 24.96 in²
Length of one side of the room = 12 feets
Length of other side = x
Area of rectangle = Length * width
If :
2 inches = 5 feets
x = 12 feets
x = (12 *2) / 5
x = 4.8 inches
Hence,
For the scaled drawing :
4.8 * width = 24.96
Width = 24.96 / 4.8
Width = 5.2 inches
Converting to feets according to scale:
2 inches = 5 feets
5.2 inches = x feets
x = (5.2 * 5 ) / 2
x = 13 feets
Other side is 13 feets long
