Question

A scale drawing for a garden is shown below. In the drawing, 2 inches represents 8 feet in the real garden. Assuming the garden is a rectangle, find the area of the real garden. Enter your numerical answer (without units) in the box.

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf 3456ft^(2) }`

Explanation:

`\sf 2 in = 8 ft`

◼ Convert inches in feet:

`\sf 18in = 4* 18 ft = 72ft`

`\sf 12in = 4* 12 ft = 48ft`

◼ Calculate the area of the rectangle:

`\sf area ~rectangle\\\\= length * width\\\\= 72ft * 48ft\\\\\boxed{\sf = 3456ft^(2) }`

Answer 2

3456 ft squared i think or it could be 864

Explanation:

because 12/2=6 6x8=48 and 18/2=9 9x8=72 72x48
