Answer 1

Given the Scale of the Drawing as 3 : 1000

It means in the Drawing a Length of 3cm is Equal to 1000cm of the Actual Pool

It means in the Drawing a Length of 3cm is Equal to 10m of the Actual Pool

Given the Length of the Pool in the Drawing is 15cm

⇒ Actual Length of the Pool is 5 × 10m = 50m

Given the Width of the Pool in the Drawing is 7.5cm

⇒ Actual Width of the Pool is  2.5 × 10m = 25m

We know that Area of Rectangular Pool is Length × Width

⇒ Area of the Rectangular Pool = 50 × 25 = 1250m²
