The rectangular classroom is 36ft in length and 32 feet in with. The scale drawing of the floor has a length of 9 inches. What is the area, in square inches, of the floor in the scale drawing? Explain your answer.

72 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular classroom

Length=36ft

Width=32ft

scale drawing length = 9 inches

Scale drawing width=x

Ratio of the length to the scale drawing length = 36/9

Ratio of the width to the scale drawing width=32/x

To find x

36/9=32/x

Cross product

36x=32*9

x=288/36

=8

x=8

Area of a rectangle= length × width

Length=9 inches

Width=8 inches

Area of the rectangular classroom= 9 inches × 8 inches

=72 inch²
