First, find the area of the lacrosse field on the drawing. It is a rectangle, so you can just multiply the length and width:
A=5.5*3
A=16.5 in. squared

If 1 inch represents 20 yards, then 1 inch squared is going to represent 400 yards squared for area. Now we can set up a ratio:
16.5/x=1/400
x=6,600 yards squared

The area should be 6,600 square yards.

  • The calculation is as follows:

Here we need to determine the area of the lacrosse field on the drawing

A=5.5(3)

A=16.5 in. squared

Now

Since 1 inch represents 20 yards,

So,

[tex]16.5\div x=1\div 400[/tex]

x = 6,600 yards squared
