Question

Miss Kent reminds her students that every two inches on the model represents 25 feet on the actual statue. Based on Martina's measurements what is the area in square feet of the tablet on the actual Statue of Liberty show your work ​

Answer 1

78.125 ft²

Explanation:

The dimension of the tablet is given as:

Length = 1 in

Width = ½ in

First,we need to determine the measurements in feet.

Using the scale measurement:

Scale: 2 in =25 ft

Divide both sides by 2

2 in/2 = 25 ft/2

1 in = 12.5 ft

So, Length = 12.5 ft

Divide the scale measurement by 4

2 in/4 = 25 ft/4

½ in = 6.25 ft

So,

Width = 6.25 ft

Area is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

Area = 12.5 ft * 6.25 ft

Area = 75.125 ft²
