Scale Drawings
Design a living room that includes a sofa, a table, and a TV stand. The scale you will use is 1 unit represents 2 feet. The dimensions for everything you need to include in your room are listed below:
Room: rectangle 20 feet by 30 feet
TV stand: rectangle 4 feet by 2 feet
Sofa: rectangle 6 feet by 3 feet
Table: rectangle 5 feet by 2.5 feet
Use the 
tool to draw accurate measurements for all your items. Your shapes should not be the same lengths as the measurements above. You must draw them to scale on the graph provided. For example, a TV set that is 8 feet by 8 feet would be 4 units by 4 units.
After you complete your drawing, answer the questions below.
