Aparking lot has the shape of a rectangle. a scale drawing for the parking lot measures 6cm by 20cm. the scale is 1cm : 15m. find the area of the parking lot.

The answer for the area of the parking lot is 27,000m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the shape of the parking lot is a rectangle we can model the area using the formula for area of a rectangle Which is

A= length *width

Step two :

Given length 20cm

Width 6cm

Furthermore the scale is

1cm:15m

That is 1cm represents 15m on paper

Therefore the length in meters

=20*15=300m

Width in meter

=6*15=90m

Area =300*90

Area =27,000m²
