To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that:
<span> - The scale model is 11 inches long and 8.5 inches wide.
- The door to her room takes up 1.75 inches.
- The longest wall in Jessica’s actual room is 15 feet long.
2. Therefore, the actual size of the door is:
15 feet=180 inches
1.75 inches(180 inches/11 inches)=28.63 inches
3. If the door in completely open, you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a semicircle:
A=</span>πr²/2
r=28.63 inches
A=π(28.63 inches)²/2
A=1288.11 inches²
The answer is: 1288.11 inches²
