Answer:

216 square feet

Explanation:

Convert each measurement of the playground from inches to ft using the scale given

Scale: 1 in. = 3 ft

Length of the playground in drawing = 6 in.

Actual length = 6*3 = 18 ft

Width in drawing = 4 in.

Actual width = 4*3 = 12 ft

Area of the playground in square feet = L*W = 18*12 = 216 ft²
