Amap of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width of 6 inches. it uses a scale of 1 inch for every 30 miles. what is the actual area of the park? show how you know.

The actual area 21600 miles²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A drawing that shows a real object with accurate sizes reduced or

 enlarged by a certain amount called the scale

- Drawing scale is a ratio between the drawing length and the

 actual length

- To find the actual dimensions from the drawing dimensions use the

  scale drawing

* Lets solve the problem

- A map of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width

 of 6 inches

∴ The drawing dimensions are:

# length = 4 inches

# width = 6 inches

- The scale of the map is 1 inch foe every 30 miles

∴ The scale drawing is 1 : 30

- To find the actual area find the actual dimensions

∵ The scale drawing is 1 : 30

∵ The length = 4 inches and the width = 6 inches

- By using cross multiplication

∴  1        :        30

   4       :  actual length

   6       :  actual width

∴ Actual length = (4 × 30)/1 = 120

∴ Actual length = 120 miles

∴ Actual width = (6 × 30)/1 = 180

∴ Actual Width = 180 miles

∴ The actual dimensions are 120 miles and 180 miles

∵ The area of any rectangle = length × width

∴ The actual area = 120 × 180 = 21600

∴ The actual area 21600 miles²

in if you ask questions, the points are taken from your total and given to the one who answered it..

so if i have 30 points and i ask a question for 5 points, then when someone asks a question i will lose 5 points and the answerer earns 5
