Question:
Luke is designing a scale model of a clock tower. the design of the front of the tower is shown below. what will be the area of the front face of his model?
(a) 2,500 square millimeters
(b) 10,000 square millimeters
(c) 12,500 square millimeters
(c) 15,000 square millimeters
The height of the tower is given as 200 mm and the width of the tower is 50 mm
Answer:
The correct option is;
(b) 10,000 square millimeters
Explanation:
With the given dimension of the tower, Te front face of the tower is rectangular in shape.
Therefore, we have;
Area of a rectangle = Base Length × Height
Where:
Base length of the tower = 50 mm
Height of the tower = 200 mm
Therefore, area of the rectangular tower is therefore,
Area of a rectangle tower = Base length of the tower × Height of the tower
= 50 mm × 200 mm = 10000 mm².
Area of a rectangle tower = 10000 mm².
