Question

luis draws a rectangle to represent a new restaurant.

in luiss diagram, each inch represents 15 feet.
what is the area, in square feet, of the new restaurant?
80 square feet
540 square feet
1,200 square feet
18,000 square feet

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the actual length and width

Since each inch represents 15 feet, the actual length \( l = 10\times15=150\) feet and the actual width \( w = 8\times15 = 120\) feet.

Step2: Calculate the area of the rectangle

The area formula for a rectangle is \(A=l\times w\). Substitute \(l = 150\) and \(w = 120\) into the formula: \(A=150\times120\).
