An architect draws a scaled down plan of a building. On the map, the dimensions of a room is written as 5 cm × 4 cm. According to the scale that he uses, 2 cm = 100 km. What are the actual dimensions of the room?
250 km × 200 km
Given that, 2 cm = 100 km
Therefore, 1 cm is equivalent to 50 km.
Actual dimensions of the room
= (5 × 50) km × (4 × 50) km
= 250 km × 200 km
