C de mmmmmmggffthxjdue

Answer 2

E

Explanation:

map scale: actual scale

= 1 inch: 3 feet

Area scale

= (1 in)²: (3 ft)²

= 1 in²: 9 ft²

This means that 1 in² of the drawing represents an actual area of 9 ft².

Area of garden in the drawing

= 5(3.5)

= 17.5 in²

Area of actual garden

= 17.5 ×9

= 157.5 ft²

Thus, the answer is E.
