Step-by-step explanation:

given:

the scale from a square park to a drawing of the park is 5 m to 1 cm

the actual park has an area of 1,600 m²

find:

what is the area of the drawing of the park​

solution:

drawing scale is 5m : 1cm

1,600 m² =      5² m²      

   x                  1² cm²

cross multiply:

5² m² x = 1600 m² (1 cm²)

x = 1600 m²

      5² m²

x = 64 cm²

therefore, the area of a square park in the drawing is 64 cm²
