Explanation:

The drawing has the side dimension of 7.6 cm

since each cm represents 90 m the ACTUAL park is

7.6 x 90 = 684 meters

similarly, the bottom of the drawing has the dimension 9.1 cm which represents 9.1 x 90 = 819 m

the area of the park is then

Area = height x width = 684 m x 819 m = 560 196 m^2

OR in one step:

Area of the actual park is then

(7.6 cm * 90 m / cm ) X ( 9.1 cm * 90 m/cm ) = 560 196 m^2
