Answer: The actual area of the base of the building = 4418 square feet.
Explanation:
Dimensions of model: 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width.
The scale on the model is 1 inch = 47 feet.
Actual length = 2 x (47 feet) = 94 feet
Actual width = 1 x 47 feet = 47 feet
Actual area of base of building = (Actual length) x (Actual width)
= 94 x 47 square feet
= 4418 square feet
Hence, the actual area of the base of the building = 4418 square feet.
