Answer 1

Width = 3ft

Length = 2ft

Explanation:

Room dimension:

Actual width = 18ft

Actual length = 12ft

Blue print dimension :

Scale factor × Room dimension

Width = (1/6) × 18ft = 3ft

Length = (1/6) × 12ft = 2ft

Therefore, width and length of room on the blueprint equals :

Width = 3ft

Length = 2ft
