In getting the perimeter and the area of both actual and replica of my bedroom floor plan, we use the

formula of the rectangle which is P=2 L+2 W and A=L∗W . The measurement of the actual floor plan
is in millimeters, so we convert it to inches (refer to Figure 2). For the replica’s floor plan measurement
we use the unit of inches (Figure 3).The perimeter of the actual floor plan is 599.92 inches, with the
length of 137.64 inches and a width of 162.32 inches . Area of the actual floor plan is 22,341.72 i n2. The
replica’s perimeter is 27.02inches , with the length of 7.31 inches and a width of 6.2 inches. In
determining the similarity ratio, in scale up we divide the length of the actual to the replica which result
to 22.2 inches and also for the width which has the same result 22.2 inches. For the scale down, we
divide the replica to the actual which the length and the width has the same results to 0.045 inches. The
similarity ratio is the simplest form of the ratio and since it cannot be simplified, the final similarity ratio
is 7.31:6.2.
