Danielle constructs a scale model of a building with a rectangular base. Her model is 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width. The scale on the model is 1 inch = 47 feet. What is the actual area, in square feet, of the base of the building? in ft2

The actual area of the base of the building = 4418 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of model: 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width.

The scale on the model is 1 inch = 47 feet.

Actual length = 2 x (47 feet) = 94 feet

Actual width = 1 x 47 feet = 47 feet

Actual area of base of building  = (Actual length) x (Actual width)

= 94 x 47 square feet

= 4418 square feet

Hence, the actual area of the base of the building = 4418 square feet.
