Answer

Option D is correct.

294 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation

The scale model of the rectangular garden is 1.5 ft. by 4 ft.

The model is then enlarged by a scale factor of 7 to create the actual garden.

So, we can now find the length of the actual garden

The Length of the actual garden = 4 × 7 = 28 ft.

The Width of the actual garden = 1.5 × 7 = 10.5 ft.

The area of a rectangle is given as

Area = Length × Width

= 28 × 10.5

= 294 ft squared

Hope this Helps!!!
