Respuesta :

The length and width of the terrace are 15 feet and 6 feet respectively.

The area of the terrace is 90 ft²

The scale of the plan is 2 inches : 6 feet.

Therefore, 2inches represents 6 feet.

According to the drawing;

  • length = 5 inches
  • width = 2 inches

Therefore,

  • length of the terrace = 5 × 6 / 2 = 30 / 2 = 15 feet
  • width of the terrace = 2 × 6 / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6 feet

The area can be found as follows:

Area of a rectangle:

  • area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

Therefore,

area = 15 × 6 = 90 feet²
