On a scale drawing , a rectangular room has width = 14 cm & length = 22 cm.
The scale is 1 cm = 0.5 m .
Work out the real area of the room in square meters .
area =
SO Area formula is AREA = length × width A = L× W For length: 1cm\0.5m = 22cm/?m We don`t know about the meter. if we cross multiply the answer will be 11m. For width: 1cm\0.5m = 14cm\?m We don`t know about the meter. if we cross multiply the answer will be 7m. The square meter should be 77 Because 11 × 7 = 77
