Mandy is making a rectangular quilt. She created a scale drawing of the quilt using a scale of 1 cm = 7.5 in. The quilt on the drawing measures 8 cm by 12 cm. What is the area of the actual quilt?

Actual Area=5,400 (in.) ²

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale: 1 cm=7.5 in.

Drawing is 8 cm by 12 cm

Drawing Length=12 cm

Actual Length=Scale factor*Drawing Length = (7.5*12) = 90 in.

Drawing Width=8 cm

Actual Width=Scale factor*Drawing Length = (7.5*8) = 60 in.

Actual Area = (Actual Length*Actual width) = (90*60) = 5,400 squared inches

Actual Area=5,400 (in.) ²
