The diagram below is a scale drawing of a building and the parking lot outside of it. A scale factor of 1cm= 6ft was used to make the drawing What is the area of the parking lot

Plz help this makes no sense to me

8,181 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the parking lot = Area of the whole structure - Area of the building

The building is a square of 12cm by 12cm

which is 72ft by 72ft since 1 cm is 6 ft

its area is thus 72 * 72 = 5,184 ft^2

The structure measures 16.5 cm by 22.5 cm

Multiplying the sides by 6, we have 99 ft by 135 ft

So its area is 99 * 135 = 13,365 ft^2

The area of the parking lot = 13,365 - 5,184 =

8,181 ft^2
