Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to turn the ratio of 1 : 3 into a fraction

1:3 = 1/3

Next we need to square that fraction

1 x 1 = 1

3 x 3 = 9

Then we turn those numbers into a fraction

1/9

We turn the .5 into a fraction

.5/x

And cross multiply both fraction by each other

1/9 x .5/x

1 x X = X

9 x .5 = 4.5

So

4.5 = X

The actual island's area is 4.5 square miles.

What is the formula of the area?

Given a rectangle with duration l and width w, the formula for the place is  A = l*w (rectangle). that is, the vicinity of the rectangle is the length extended by the width. As a special case, as l = w in the case of a rectangular, the location of a rectangular with side duration s is given by using the components: A = s^2 (square).

What's an area example?
