If the width of the door of the living room is 0.75cm0.75\,cm on the floor plan its actual length in meters is ?

Explanation

Solution

The map of a single floor is referred to as a "Floor Plan." Architects can have furniture to help us imagine how a room might be decorated. Parallel lines reflect walls, which may be flat or filled with a pattern. Doors, windows, and gaps within rooms are indicated by breaks in the walls.

Complete step by step answer:
We know that according to a standard floor plan, 1.5cm1.5\,cm on the floor plan represents 3m3m on the actual door dimension. So, 1cm1\,cm on the floor plan will be equal to 31.5=2m\dfrac{3}{{1.5}} = 2\,m.
In the question it is asked for 0.75cm0.75\,cm , hence, the actual length will be:
2×0.7 1.5cm 2 \times 0.7 \\\ \Rightarrow 1.5\,cm \\\
Now, we know that 0.75cm0.75\,cm is the same as 1.5m1.5\,m in the actual dimension and 1.5cm1.5\,cm is the same as 3m3\,m in the actual dimension. Hence, by applying cross multiplication where we are considering xx as the actual length of the living room plan.
x=0.75×31.5 x=32 x=1.5m x = \dfrac{{0.75 \times 3}}{{1.5}} \\\ \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{3}{2} \\\ \therefore x = 1.5\,m \\\
Hence, the answer is 1.5m1.5\,m.

Note: The floor plan is a treasure map, written in a symbolic language and promising the satisfaction of a dream as we plan to create a new house. We imagine clear lines and arcs stretching through walls, doors, and windows as we "read" a floor plan with dimensions; we imagine ourselves in a "house," and we wonder if the spaces can feel simultaneously vacant and filled with life.
