Answer:

8,736m squared

Explanation:

ok so if the park drawing has sides measuring 9.1cm by 12cm, and our scale is 1cm=80m we can solve as follows:

area of the model is length x width = 9.1x12=109.2cm squared

now we know 1cm=80m and we have 109.2cm so we can multiply 109.2cm by 80m to get the area of the actual park which is 8,736m squared
