Discuss NFPA CFPE Exam Topic 1 Question 11

Exhibit.

In the figure what is the approximate length of the dead end corridor?

A25 ft 10 in. (7.8 m)

B31 ft 6 in. (9.6 m)

C69 ft 8 in. (21.2 m)

D84 ft 6 in. (25.7 m)

Suggested Answer: B

According to NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, the interior finish for exits in educational occupancies must be Class A or B. Class A finishes have the lowest flame spread and smoke development indices, while Class B finishes are also considered safe but slightly less restrictive than Class A. This requirement ensures that exit routes remain safe and clear in the event of a fire, facilitating rapid evacuation.

Wait, is that really the right measurement?

I’m with Gilma on this one!

69 ft 8 in? That seems way off.

Vernice 11 months ago

Definitely looks longer than that!

Gilma 11 months ago

I think it's about 31 ft 6 in.

Joye 12 months ago

I wish I had a better grasp on estimating lengths from images. I might just guess 31 ft 6 in since it feels right.

France 12 months ago

I’m torn between 69 ft 8 in and 84 ft 6 in. Those seem really long for a dead end corridor, though.

Yuette 12 months ago

I remember practicing a similar question, and I feel like the answer was closer to 25 ft 10 in.

Taryn 1 year ago

I think the dead end corridor is around 31 ft 6 in, but I’m not completely sure.

This is a good opportunity to practice my measurement skills. I'll carefully examine the scale in the image and use it to determine the length of the corridor. I'm going to take my time and make sure I get the right answer.

Lindsey 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by this question. The image doesn't seem to have a clear scale, and the options are in both feet/inches and meters. I'll have to double-check my work to make sure I'm using the right units.

Justine 1 year ago

Okay, I think I've got this. The image shows a scale, so I just need to use that to measure the length of the corridor. I'm feeling pretty confident about this one.

Andra 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The image doesn't seem to have a clear scale, so it might be tricky to get the exact measurement. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Lashawn 1 year ago

This looks like a straightforward measurement question. I'll carefully examine the image and use the scale to determine the length of the corridor.

Antonio 1 year ago

I'm feeling a bit like a detective trying to solve this mystery. Maybe I should bring a tape measure to the next exam. Or perhaps a crystal ball would be more helpful. Ah, the life of a test-taker - always full of surprises!

This is like a game of Guess the Length. I'll just close my eyes and point. *Throws dart at answer choices* Aha, 69 feet 8 inches! Lucky me, I suppose. Although, who needs to measure when you can just go with your gut, am I right?

Nice guess! You got it right!

Lindsay 2 years ago

Okay, let's see here. The scale looks a bit off, but I think I can make it work. I'm going with 84 feet 6 inches. It's the longest option, so it's gotta be the right answer, right?

Dalene 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I think it might be C) 69 ft 8 in. (21.2 m) based on the scale of the figure

Roxane 2 years ago

Hmm, let me see. 25 feet 10 inches? No, that's too short. Maybe 31 feet 6 inches? Ah, wait, I think it's 69 feet 8 inches. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Yeah, I agree. 69 ft 8 in. (21.2 m) seems correct.

This is a tricky one. The image shows a lot of details, but I'm not sure I can accurately measure the length of that dead-end corridor. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Dana 2 years ago

I agree with Kenneth, the dead end corridor looks around that length

Kenneth 2 years ago

I think the answer is B) 31 ft 6 in. (9.6 m)
