Answer:
1.Area of Porch =2.5m²
2.Number of people =3 people
Step-by-step explanation:
The porch area from the diagram has a dimension of 4 units by 10 units
One units =1cm
Thus the porch is drawn with dimensions of 4cm by 10 cm
Taking length is 10 cm and width as 4 cm, convert these dimensions according to the scale.
The scale is 1cm=0.25m
The width will be= 0.25×4=1 m
The length will be=0.25×10= 2.5m
Area of the porch is given by the formula;
length×width because its has a shape of a rectangle
Area of porch will be
=1m ×2.5m =2.5m²
2.
Find the dimensions of the tent
14 units by 10 units
Applying the scale on the dimensions by multiplying by 0.25
14×0.25=3.5m
10×0.25=2.5m
Width=2.5m
length=3.5m
Subtract the edge distance on both the length and width
Length will be=3.5-(0.25×2)=3.0m
Width will be=2.5-(0.25×2)=2.0m
Find the area remaining to be covered by the people while sleeping
=3.0×2.0=6m²
Area covered by sleeping bag and a ground mat
2m×1m=2m²
Number of people that can sleep in the tent
6m²÷2m²=3 people
