Calculate dimensions: Calculate the actual dimensions of the bathroom based on the scale. The scale is 1:20, meaning each cm on the diagram represents 20 cm in reality.Actual length = 15cm×20=300cm,Actual width = 10cm×20=200cm.
Convert to meters: Convert the actual dimensions from centimeters to meters since 1 meter =100 centimeters.Actual length in meters =300 cm ÷100=3 meters,Actual width in meters ==0 cm ÷100==4 meters.
Calculate area: Calculate the actual area of the bathroom in square meters.Area = length×width=3m×2m=6square meters.
