Explanation:

Step1: Identify scale - factor relationship

The scale is 1 in. : 3 ft. So we multiply the scale - drawing lengths by 3 to get actual lengths.

Step2: Calculate actual length

The scale - drawing length $l = 4$ in. Multiply by 3.
$4\times3=12$ ft

Step3: Calculate actual width

The scale - drawing width $w = 2$ in. Multiply by 3.
$2\times3 = 6$ ft

Answer:

Actual length = 12 ft
Actual width = 6 ft
