Sagot :

well, same gig as before, but this time is Area, but we'd be using the same ratios

[tex]\stackrel{blueprint}{1}:\stackrel{actual}{6}~~\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{blueprint}{1}}{\underset{actual}{6}}=\cfrac{\sqrt{\stackrel{blueprint}{A}}}{\sqrt{\stackrel{actual}{A}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}=\cfrac{\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{A}}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}=\sqrt{\cfrac{15}{A}} \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{1}{6} \right)^2=\cfrac{15}{A}\implies \cfrac{1}{36}=\cfrac{15}{A}\implies A=540[/tex]
