On a floor plan drawn at a scale of 1:100, the area of a rectangular room is 30 cm². What is the actual area of the room?

  • A. 30,000 cm²
  • B. 300 m²
  • C. 3,000 m²
  • D. 30 m²
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: On a 1:100 scale drawing, each centimeter represents one meter. The area of the room in the scale drawing is 30 cm², which means the actual area is 30 m². Choice A (30,000 cm²) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the scale conversion. Choice B (300 m²) is incorrect because it multiplies the scale area directly by 10,000, which is not the correct conversion. Choice C (3,000 m²) is also incorrect as it applies the scale factor incorrectly.
