Answer:
The actual area of the dog house floor is 1,440 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the actual dimensions of the house floor
The scale is equal to
4 in/ft
Divide the dimensions of the plan by the scale
16 in=16/4=4 ft
10 in=10/4=2.5 ft
step 2
Convert ft to in
Remember that
1 ft=12 in
so
4 ft=4*12=48 in
2.5 ft=2.5*12=30 in
step 3
Find the actual area of the dog house floor to the nearest tenth inch
A=48*30=1,440 in²
