Answer:

32 ft²

Explanation:

Assuming the diagram attached below similar to the one required to complete the question below.

From the diagram,

Actaul Area of a parallelogram (A) = Actual Base(b)× actual heigth(h)

A = bh.......................... Equation 1

From the question,

If each 6 in on the scale drawing equals 3 feet

Given:

base on the scale drawing = 8 in.

Actual base(b) = (8×3)/6 = 4 feet.

Height on the scale drawing = 16 in

Actual height(h) = (16×3)/6 = 8 feet.

Substitute these values into equation 1

A = 4×8

A = 32 ft²

Hence the actual area of the shape is 32 ft²

If each 6 in. On the scale drawing below equals 3 feet, what is the actual area of-example-1
