Can anybody help me out with this question? (Area)

Answer 1

the area of the actual dance floor is 492 ft²

Explanation:

22cm x 14 cm = 308cm ²

5cm = 8 ft

308÷5 = 61.6

8 x 61.6= 492.8ft ²

let me know if this helped :)

Answer 2

Answer: 788.48 feet squared.

Explanation:

First, bring the rectangle to its true size. You can do this by multiplying each side by the ratio 8ft/5cm. This is to remove centimetres from the equation.

22 * 8 / 5 = 35.2 feet

14 * 8 / 5 = 22.4 feet

Next, you can multiply the two sides together to get your area, which is 788.48 feet squared.
