The area of a square floor on a scale drawing is 49 square centimeters, and the scale drawing is 1 centimeter:3 ft. What is the area of the actual floor? What is the ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area?

the area of the actual floor is  784 ft² and the ratio is (1 cm²) ÷ (16 ft²). The same would be relevant

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the area and the ratio of the area is shown below:

The ratio of the drawing area to the actual area is  

= ((1 cm) ÷ (4 ft))²

= (1 cm²) ÷ (16 ft²)

 Now the actual floor area is  

(16 ft²) ÷ (1 cm²) = actual area ÷ (49 cm²)

= (16 ft²) × 49 ÷ 1

= 784 ft²

hence, the area of the actual floor is  784 ft² and the ratio is (1 cm²) ÷ (16 ft²). The same would be relevant

the answer

b. they are parallel and will never intersect.
