Question

the scale factor is 1 centimeter to 35 meters. for a, enter the area of the rectangle in square centimeters. for b, enter the area of the national park in square meters.

Explanation:

Step1: Count side length of red square

The red square spans 6 grid units, so side length $s_1 = 6$ cm.

Step2: Calculate area in square cm

Area of square: $A_1 = s_1^2$
$A_1 = 6^2 = 36$ cm²

Step3: Convert side length to meters

Scale factor: $1$ cm = $35$ m, so actual side length $s_2 = 6 \times 35 = 210$ m

Step4: Calculate actual area in square meters

Actual area: $A_2 = s_2^2$
$A_2 = 210^2 = 44100$ m²

Answer:

A. 36 square centimeters
B. 44100 square meters
