    To figure this out you would need to create a rectangle with dimensions that give you an area of 7 ft.². The easiest example would be a rectangle that is one by seven. If the scale is 1:16, that means for every foot it is actually representing 16 feet. The actual length and width would be found by multiplying 1*16 and 7*16. The true dimensions then would be 16 x 112. Multiply this together to get a total area of 1792 ft.².
