Question

Danielle constructs a scale model of a building with a rectangular base. Her model is 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width. The scale on the model is 1 inch = 47 feet. What is the actual area, in square feet, of the base of the building

Answer 1

The area of the base is of the building  4,418 square feet

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

$Area=4418\,feet^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that in the model the length is 2 inches and 1 inch in width. As we know 1 inch is 47 feet, then:

For the length we have: $2\,inches\times\dfrac{47\,feet}{1\,inch}=94\,feet$

For the width we have: $1\,inches\times\dfrac{47\,feet}{1\,inch}=47\,feet$

To know the area we just need to multiply length by width.

$Area=94\,feet\times47\,feet=4418\,feet^{2}$

then the area of the building is: $4418ft^{2}$
