Trevor makes a scale drawing of a doghouse that he is building. The scale he uses is 1in :0.4 what is the actual area of the floor of the doghouse if the dimensions on the scale drawing are 8in by 10in

Respuesta :

So, every one inch in the real dog house would be equal to .4 on the scale drawing.

So,

8/.4= 20

10/.4= 25

So, the dog house is 20 by 25 inches.

The question asked for the area.

20*25= 500

The real dog house has an area of 500 in^2.

I hope this helps!
