Answer 1

Answer:

The kitchen has a bigger actual area than the bedroom

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the compartment with the bigger area

Since the bedroom has a drawing measure of 1 to 40; compared to the actual measurement;

The real dimensions will be;

10 * 40 and 18 * 40

= 400 by 720

So, its area which is length * width will be;

400 cm * 720 cm = 288,000 cm^2

we can see that the kitchen with an area of 300,000 cm^2 is bigger than this area of the bedroom
