Answer:
170 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Patio drawing of 4.25 in by 2.5 in
Scale of Patio to its drawing = 4ft to 1 in
Requires:
Area of actual Patio
SOLUTION:
Area of actual Patio = area of a rectangle = length × width
Given a scale drawing of 4ft to 1 in, therefore:
Length of actual Patio = 4.25 × 4 = 17 ft
Width of actual Patio = 2.5 × 4 = 10 ft
Therefore:
Area of actual Patio = 17 ft × 10 ft = 170 ft²
