A new dining room is being built in Carol’s home. In a scale drawing of the room, 1 inch represents LaTeX: 2\frac{1}{2}212feet. A sketch of the drawing is shown

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the dinning room table:

Given that scale of the sketch is 1 in = 2½ ft

Length of the dinning room table on the sketch = 2 in

Actual length of dinning room table = 2 × 2½ = 5 ft

Width of the dinning room table on the sketch = 1 in

Actual width of dinning room table = 1 × 2½ = 2.5 ft

Area of dinning room table = length × width = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5 ft²

Area of the dinning room:

Given that scale of the sketch is 1 in = 2½ ft

Length of the dinning room on the sketch = 7⅕ in

Actual length of dinning room = 7⅕ × 2½ = 18 ft

Width of the dinning room on the sketch = 4⅘ in

Actual width of dinning room = 4⅘ × 2½ = 12 ft

Area of dinning room = length × width = 18 × 12 = 216 ft²

Area of the dinning room not covered by the table = area of the dinning room - area of the dinning room table

= 216 - 12.5 = 203.5 ft²
