Question

The scale drawing below represents the side of a ramp. In the scale drawing, two inches equals five feet.

What is the actual area, in square feet, of the side of the ramp?

Answer 1

(1/2)(6)(4) = 12 square inches

2 inches = 5 feet, so 4 square inches = 25 square feet.

12/4 = s/25, so s = 75 square feet
