Question

Fill in the blanks Dr. Gordon has a scale drawing of a building site. The drawing uses the scale 2in. on the drawing for every 100ft on the building site. Dr. Gordon marks a 6in by 3.2in. section of the drawing to show the section she will search. What is the area? -------------------------

Answer 1

Answer: 48,000 square feet

Explanation:

The scale factor is 2 inches = 100 ft

Which reduces to 1 inch = 50 ft

A = L*W

L = 6, W = 3.2

*50 (the scale factor)

L = 300, W = 160

300*160 = 48,000

So, the area is 48,000 square ft
