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 =



Answer :


14 x 0.5 = 7

22 x 0.5 = 11

7 x 11 = 77 square meters

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
