Question

The scale drawing of a rectangular city park measures 10.0 cm by 5.0 cm. The scale of the drawing is 1.0 cm = 4.5 m. What is the area, in square meters, of the park?

Answer 1

2250m^2

Explanation:

In this exercise, we are going to be converting from cm to m, since we are asked to provide our answers in meters

Given that the scale is 1.0 cm = 4.5 m

let us convert the 10cm to the actual length

1 cm------4.5m

10 cm------x

x= 4.5*10

x= 45m

Also for the 5 cm

1 cm------4.5m

5 cm------x

x= 5*10

x= 50m

Hence the area of the actual rectangular park is

45*50= 2250m^2
