the dimensions of a rectangular dining room are 18 feet by 16 feet long if a scale factor 1/4 is used to make a scale model of the dining room what is the area of the dining room in the scale model.​

Respuesta :

calculate the sides of the rectangle in scale factor model

Length: 18 * 1/4 = 4.5 feet

Width: 16 * 1/4 = 4 feet

Rectangle area in scale factor model:

Length * Width

4.5 * 4

18 feet²

Answer:

Given dimensions of a rectangular dining table:

  • width = 18 ft
  • length = 16 ft

If a scale factor of [tex]\dfrac14[/tex] is used, then we need to multiply each measurement by [tex]\dfrac14[/tex]:

[tex]\implies \textsf{width}=18 \times \dfrac14[/tex]

                [tex]=4.5 \textsf{ units}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \textsf{length}=16 \times \dfrac14[/tex]

                 [tex]=4 \textsf{ units}[/tex]

Therefore, the scale model of the dining room will be 4.5 by 4 units.
