Final answer:

To determine the actual length of the park, the measurement on the drawing should be multiplied by the scale factor of 24 meters per inch. The choices provided cannot be accurately addressed without the measurement from the drawing. Normally, you would calculate it by using the scale given in inches and convert it to meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the actual length of the park, we need to apply the scale given in the question. If the scale is 1 inch to 24 meters, we must use the drawing's dimensions to calculate the real size. Unfortunately, without the measurement of the park in the drawing, we can't provide an exact answer from the choices given (A. 4.8m, B. 120m, C. 29 m, D. 19 m).

To solve a problem like this, you would normally convert the drawing's measurement to the real measurement by multiplying the scale factor. For example, if the park measured 5 inches in the drawing, the actual length of the park would be 5 inches Ă— 24 meters/inch = 120 meters.
