This diagram of a rectangular city park was drawn using a scale of 1 centimeter to 20 meters (In the diagram shown, assume each square on the grid is 1 centimeter in length.)

What is the area, in square meters, of the actual park?

What is the scale factor

Scale factor for the drawing from actual park =

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 =

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

The letter b is just an exponent like x.. It has a specified number in it eg 1-x=0
