The scale factor of the blueprint of a theater stage to the actual theater stage is 1in/6ft. The area of the stage on the blueprint is 48in^2


What is the area of the actual stage?


A.) 288ft^2


B.) 864ft^2


C.) 1728 ft^2


D.) 10,368ft^2

Verified Answer :

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor of the blueprint of a theater stage to the actual theater stage is

\(1\ in:6\ ft\\\)

Since the area of the stage on the blueprint = 48 in²

So, we need to find the area of the actual stage :

\(\frac{1}{6}=\frac{48}{\text{Area of actual stage}}\\\\ 6\times 48=\text{ Area of actual stage}\\\\288\ ft^2=\text{ Area of actual stage}\)

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
