Question

Amelia wants to rearrange the furniture in her room. She makes a scale drawing of her rectangular room,

Answer 1

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
