Answer:
72 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratios to find the real dimensions
5 cm 10 cm
---------- = -----------
6 m x meter
Using cross products
5x = 60
Divide by 5
5x/5 =60/5
x = 12 meters
5 cm 5 cm
---------- = -----------
6 m x meter
5x =30
Divide each side by 5
5x/5 = 30/5
x = 6m
The dimensions are 12 m by 6 m
The area is
A = l*w
=12 *6
= 72 m^2
