A soccer field is 30 meters in width and 50 meters in length with an area of 1500 square meters. Jiro made a scale drawing of the soccer field with a scale of 1 centimeter = 5 meters. What is the actual area of the soccer field in square meters?

Answer :

Final answer:

In real life, the soccer field is 1500 square meters. This is equivalent to 6 cm by 10 cm on the scale drawing.

Explanation:

The scale provided indicates that 1 cm in the drawing of the soccer field corresponds to 5 m in real life. Therefore the scale representation of the soccer field measures 6 cm by 10 cm on paper (30m/5 = 6 cm and 50m/5 = 10 cm). The area of the park is already given as 1500 m², there is no need to convert the scale drawing to real life measurements for the area. Thus, the actual area of the park is 1500 square meters.
