Question

A scale drawing of a field is shown below.8 in.10 in.6 in.The drawing uses a scale of 1 in. = 14 ft. What is the area of the actual field?

Answer 1

We can multiply each side by 14ft yo find the value on feet and late calculate the area

`\begin{gathered} 8*14=112ft \\ 10*14=140ft \\ 6*14=84ft \end{gathered}`

tha area formula is

`A=(b* h)/(2)`

where b=84ft and h=112ft

`\begin{gathered} A=(84*112)/(2) \\ A=4704 \end{gathered}`

the area is 4,704ft2
