A square has an area of 144 ft
in a scale drawing of the square, each inch represents 6 ft what is the area of the square in the drawing


Sagot :

The area of the square in the drawing is 4 inches

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object  

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Area of a square = length²

The side of the square can be determined by calculating the square root of the area

√144 ft = 12 feet

Each side measures 12 feet

From the question, 1 in : 6ft

The length of the side of the scale drawing = 12 / 6 = 2 inches

Area of the square drawing = 2 x 2 = 4 inches
