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 blue print is 48in^2. what is the area of the actual stage?

Answer: 1728ft^2

The scale of the blueprint is 1in=6ft and the area of the stage is 48in^2. To convert the area, you just need to find the scale with inch^2. The equation would be:

1 inch=6ft

inch^2 = x ft^2

(6ft) ^2 = x ft^2

36ft^2 = x ft^2

x=36

1 inch^2 = 36 ft^2

area of the actual stage = 48 inch^2 * (36 ft^2/inch^2) = 1728ft^2
