Explanation:

Step1: Recall scale - factor concept

The scale is 1 in. : 3 ft, so we multiply by 3 to convert inches to feet.

Step2: Calculate actual length

The length in the drawing is $l = 4$ in. Actual length $=4\times3=12$ ft.

Step3: Calculate actual width

The width in the drawing is $w = 2$ in. Actual width $=2\times3 = 6$ ft.

Answer:

Actual length = 12 ft
Actual width = 6 ft
