Question

A drawing has a scale of 1:40
On the drawing, a kitchen is a rectangle measuring 14 cm by 22 cm
A bedroom has an actual area of 500 000 cm?
How much smaller, in cm2, is the kitchen than the bedroom?

Answer 1

Area of kitchen = (14*40)(22*40) = 448,000 sq cm

500,000 - 448,000 = 52,000
The kitchen is 52,000 square centimeters smaller than the bedroom.
