A scale drawing of a living room is shown below 5.5 inches and 3 inches scale 1:30 what is the area of the actual living room? Round your answer to the nearest whole number

14850 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is...

A scale drawing of a living room is shown below:

A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 5.5 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 3 inches. The scale is 1 to 30.

What is the area of the actual living room in square feet? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

The ratio of the scale = 1:30

This means that the dimensions of the drawing has been reduced to 1/30 of the actual building's dimensions.

We first scale up the drawing to 30 times to get the dimensions of the actual building.

The length on the drawing = 5.5 inches

The real length of the actual building = 5.5 x 30 = 165 inches

The width of the drawing = 3 inches

The width of the actual building = 3 x 30 = 90 inches

The area of the actual building = length x width

==> 165 x 90 = 14850 inches
