Shorter Answer:
7 inches → 280 yards
1 inch → 280 ÷ 7 = 40 yards
5 inches → 40 x 5 = 200 yards
Area = 280 x 200 = 56 000 yards
Answer: 56 000 yards
LongerAnswer (going more into depth):
Area of the actual park is 56000 square yards.
Explanation:
A scale drawing of a rectangular park has dimensions as 5 inches width and 7 inches length.
Actual length of the park has been given as 280 yards.
So scale factor used in the drawing is 7 inches = 280 yards
Or 1 inch = 40 yards
Since width of the rectangular park is = 5 inch
So actual width of the park will be = 5×40 = 200 yards
Now we can calculate the area of the park.
Actual area of the park = Length × Width
= 280×200
= 56000 yards²
Therefore, area of the actual park is 56000 square yards.
