Answer 2

l=15 m

Explanation:

Given that a blueprint of a plot of land has a scale of cm to m.

i.e. if it measures 1 cm in blue print actual dimension is 1 m.

The length of land measures 15 cm on the blueprint.

For 1 cm actual length = 1 m

So for 15 cm actual length = 15 m

So we get

if l represents the length of the actual piece of land,

l=15 m
