Question

Shania is making a scale diagram of the badminton court at the community center. She uses a scale of 1 centimeter to 0.5 meter to draw the scale diagram. If the scale length of the badminton court is 26.8 centimeters and the scale width is 12.2 centimeters, what is the actual area of the court?

Answer 1

1cm/0.5m = (scale length of badminton court) / (actual length of the badminton court) 1cm/0.5m = (scale width of badminton court) / (actual width of the badminton court) solve for the actual length and width, from there it's L*W
