Lesson 19: Computing Actual Areas from a Scale Drawing 7•1
Lesson 19 NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM 7β’1 Lesson 19: Computing Actual Areas from a Scale Drawing Student Outcomes ο§ Students identify the scale factor. ο§ Given a scale drawing, students compute the area in the actual picture. Classwork Examples (13 minutes): Exploring Area Relationships In this series of examples, students will identify the scale factor. Students can find the areas of the two figures and calculate the ratio of the areas. As students complete a few more examples, they can be guided to the understanding that the ratio of areas is the square of the scale factor. Examples: Exploring Area Relationships Use the diagrams below to find the scale factor and then find the area of each figure. Example 1 Scale factor: π Actual Area = ππ square units Scale Drawing Area = ππ square units Value of the Ratio of the Scale Drawing Area to the Actual Area: ππ ππ =π Example 2 Scale factor: π π Actual Area = ππ square units Scale Drawing Area = π square units Value of the Ratio of the Scale Drawing Area to the Actual Area: π ππ Lesson 19: Date: = π π Computing Actual Areas from a Scale Drawing 10/21/14 © 2014 Common Core, Inc.

Results: What do you notice about the ratio of the areas in Examples 1β3? Complete the statements below. When the scale factor of the sides was π, then the value of the ratio of the areas was π π π π π π ππ π π . When the scale factor of the sides was , then the value of the ratio of the areas was ____ ____. When the scale factor of the sides was , then the value of the ratio of the areas was ____ ____. Based on these observations, what conclusion can you draw about scale factor and area? The ratio of the areas is the scale factor multiplied by itself or squared. If the scale factor is π, then the ratio of the areas is ο§ When you are comparing areas, you are dealing with two dimensions instead of comparing one linear measurement to another. How might you use this information in working with scale drawings? οΊ ο§ . Why do you think this is? Why do you think it is squared (opposed to cubed or something else)? οΊ ο§ ππ to π In working with scale drawings, you could take the scale factor, π, and calculate π 2 to determine the relationship between the area of the scale drawing and the area of the actual picture. Given a blueprint for a room, the scale drawing dimensions could be used to find the scale drawing area and could then be applied to determine the actual area. The actual dimensions would not be needed. Suppose a rectangle has an area of 12 square meters. If the rectangle is enlarged by a scale factor of three, what is the area of the enlarged rectangle based on Examples 1β3? Look and think carefully! οΊ If the scale factor is 3, then the ratio of scale drawing area to actual area is 32 to 12 or 9 to 1. So, if its area is 12 square meters before it is enlarged to scale, then the enlarged rectangle will have an area of 9 12 β’ ( ), or 12 β’ 9, resulting in an area of 108 square meters. 1 Lesson 19: Date: Computing Actual Areas from a Scale Drawing 10/21/14 © 2014 Common Core, Inc.

Complete Example 4 as a class, asking the guiding questions below. Have students use the space in their student materials to record calculations and work. Give students time to answer the question, possibly choosing to apply what was discovered in Examples 1β3. Allow for discussion of approaches described below and for students to decide what method they prefer. Example 4: They Said Yes! The Student Government liked your half-court basketball plan. They have asked you to calculate the actual area of the court so that they can estimate the cost of the project. Based on the drawing below, what will the area of the planned half-court be? Scale Drawing: π inch on the drawing corresponds to ππ feet of actual length. Method 1: Use the measurements we found in yesterdayβs lesson to calculate the area of the half-court. Actual area = ππ feet × ππ feet = πππ square feet Method 2: Apply the newly discovered Ratio of Area relationship. MP.2 Note to teachers: This can be applied to the given scale with no unit conversions (shown on left) or to the scale factor (shown on right). Both options are included here as possible student work and would provide for a rich discussion of why they both work and what method is preferred. See guiding questions below.

Use guiding questions to find all three options as noted above. ο§ What method do you prefer? ο§ Is there a time you would choose one method over the other? οΊ If we donβt already know the actual dimensions, it might be faster to use Method 1 (ratio of areas). If we are re-carpeting a room based upon a scale drawing, we could just take the dimensions from the scale drawing, calculate area, and then apply the ratio of areas to find the actual amount of carpet we need to buy. Guide students to complete the follow-up question in their student materials. Does the actual area you found reflect the results we found from Examples 1β3? Explain how you know. Yes, the scale of π inch to ππ feet has a scale factor of πππ, so the ratio of area should be (πππ)π, or ππ. πππ π π The drawing area is (π) (π ), or MP.2 ππ π square inches. The actual area is ππ feet by ππ feet, or πππ square feet, or πππ, πππ square inches. πππ,πππ The value of the ratio of the areas is ππ π , or πππ,πππ ππ , or ππ, πππ. It would be more efficient to apply this understanding to the scale, eliminating the need to convert units. If we use the scale of 15 1 , then the ratio of area is 2 10 3 3 The drawing area is (2)(1 ), or Scaffolding: What do you think the relationship is when considering three dimensions? For example, if the scale factor comparing length on a pair of 1 cubes is , what is the ratio of 3 volumes for the same cubes? 225 1 . square inches. The actual area is 25 feet by 30 feet or 750 square feet. The ratio of area is 750 2250 10 3 , 10 , or 225 1 . Exercises (15 minutes) Allow time for students to answer independently then share results. Exercises 1. The triangle depicted by the drawing has an actual area of ππ square units. What is the scale of the drawing? (Note: Each square on the grid has a length of π unit.) Scale Drawing Area: π π β π β π = π square units. Ratio of Scale Drawing Area to Actual Area: Therefore, π (scale factor) = π π since represents π units of actual length. Lesson 19: Date: π π π π π ππ β = π ππ = ππ π . The scale factor is .

Students then continue to complete parts (a)β(f) with a partner. Allow students time to share responses. Sample answers to questions are given below. 2. 7β’1 Scaffolding: Guide students to choose measuring units based upon how the scale is stated. For example, since 1 inch represents 12 feet, it would make sense to measure the drawing in inches. Use the scale drawings of two different apartments to answer the questions. Use a ruler to measure. Scaffolding: Since the given scale is different for each drawing, it is necessary that students compute the actual areas before comparing the areas in Exercise 2 parts (a)β(c). a. Find the scale drawing area for both apartments, and then use it to find the actual area of both apartments.

Closing (2 minutes) ο§ ο§ When given a scale drawing, how do we go about finding the area of the actual object? οΊ Method 1: Compute each actual length based upon the given scale and then use the actual dimensions to compute the actual area. οΊ Method 2: Compute the area based upon the given scale drawing dimensions and then use the square of the scale to find actual area. Describe a situation where you might need to know the area of an object given a scale drawing or scale model. οΊ A time where you might need to purchase materials that are priced per area, something that has a limited amount of floor space to take up, or when comparing two different blueprints Lesson Summary Given the scale factor, π, representing the relationship between scale drawing length and actual length, the square of this scale factor, ππ , represents the relationship between the scale drawing area and the actual area. π For example, if π inch on the scale drawing represents π inches of actual length, then the scale factor, π, is . On π this same drawing, π square inch of scale drawing area would represent ππ square inches of actual area since ππ is π . ππ Scaffolding: Exit Ticket (5 minutes) Lesson 19: Date: Extension to Exit Ticket: Ask students to show multiple methods for finding the area of the dining room.
