Interpreting Scale Drawings for Living Room Area

The video tutorial explains how to interpret a scale floor plan of a house, specifically focusing on the living room. It demonstrates how to convert scaled dimensions to real-world dimensions using an 80:1 scale factor. The tutorial then calculates the area of the living room in square centimeters and converts it to square meters. An alternative method for conversion is also discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of the process.

What are the dimensions of the living room in the scaled floor plan?

• 5 cm by 6 cm

• 4 cm by 5 cm

• 3 cm by 4 cm

• 6 cm by 7 cm

What does an 80 to 1 scale factor mean in the context of the floor plan?

• 80 units on the floor plan represent 1 unit in the house

• 1 unit on the floor plan represents 80 units in the house

• 1 unit on the floor plan represents 40 units in the house

• 40 units on the floor plan represent 1 unit in the house

If the floor plan dimension of the living room is 4 cm, what is the actual dimension in the house?

• 320 cm

• 160 cm

• 240 cm

• 400 cm

What is the real-world length of the living room if the scaled length is 5 cm?

• 420 cm

• 400 cm

• 320 cm

• 300 cm

What is the real-world width of the living room if the scaled width is 4 cm?

• 420 cm

• 320 cm

• 300 cm

• 400 cm

How do you convert the area from square centimeters to square meters?

• Multiply by 10,000

• Divide by 10,000

• Divide by 100

• Multiply by 100

How many square centimeters are there in one square meter?

• 1,000

• 100,000

• 1,000,000

• 10,000

What is the area of the living room in square centimeters?

• 130,000 square centimeters

• 134,000 square centimeters

• 128,000 square centimeters

• 132,000 square centimeters

What is the area of the living room in square meters after conversion?

• 11.8 square meters

• 13.8 square meters

• 10.8 square meters

• 12.8 square meters

What is the alternative method for converting dimensions before calculating the area?

• No need to convert dimensions or area

• Convert both dimensions and area simultaneously

• Convert the dimensions first, then the area

• Convert the area first, then the dimensions
