A scale drawing is 5 inches wide and 7 inches long the actual park is 280 yards long. what is the area of the area of the actual park, in square yards

Because, the actual length is 280 yards and the scaled down length is 7 yards, you would want to find:

280 / 7 = 40

Since 40 is the scale, multiply:

40 x 5 = 200

To get the scaled up width of the park

Now, since you want to find the Area (A) of the actual park, you have to multiply the length • width

So, 280yds • 200yds

The Area of the park is:

56,000 yards
