Answer:
Scale factor for the drawing from actual park = [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
Area of the actual park = 1200 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the rectangular city park = 5 cm
Width of the rectangular park = 6 cm
Using scale factor 1 cm = 20 meters
Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{length of the park in drawing}}{\text{Actual length of park}}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{\text{Actual length of park}}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
Actual length = 5 × 20 = 100 meters
Actual width = 6 × 20 = 120 meters
Area of the rectangular park = length × width
= 100 × 120
= 1200 square meters
Therefore, Scale factor from actual length to the length in drawing = 1 : 20
Area of the rectangular park = 1200 square feet
