Answer:

1. 1800 square cm.

2. See below

3. 45000 square cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

The dimensions of the drawing are 36cm by 50cm.


\begin{gathered} \text{The area of the board}=36*50 \\ =1800\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}

Part 2

Given a scale factor, k

If the area of the scale drawing is A; then we can find the area of the actual board by multiplying the area of the scale drawing by the square of k.

Part 3


\begin{gathered} \text{Area of the scale drawing}=1800\operatorname{cm}^2 \\ \text{Scale Factor,k=5} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the area of the actual drawing will be:


\begin{gathered} 1800*5^2 \\ =45,000\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}
