A scale drawing for a rectangular parking lot measures 6.8 cm by 12.3 cm. The scale is 5 cm:25 m. Find the area of the parking lot.

Question

Parking lot measures 6.8 by 12.3

The scale is 5:25

Answer 1

5/25 = 6.8/x

5x = 170

x = 34

 

5/25 = 12.3/x

5x = 307.5

x = 61.5

 

34(61.5) = 2091 m²
