7 inches → 280 yards
1 inch → 280 ÷ 7 = 40 yards
5 inches → 40 x 5 = 200 yards

Area = 280 x 200 = 56 000 yards

Answer: 56000 yards

Area of the actual park is 56000 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing of a rectangular park has dimensions as 5 inches width and 7 inches length.

Actual length of the park has been given as 280 yards.

So scale factor used in the drawing is 7 inches

= 280 yards

Or 1 inch = 40 yards

Since width of the rectangular park is = 5 inch

So actual width of the park will be = 5×40 = 200 yards

Now we can calculate the area of the park.

Actual area of the park = Length × Width

= 280×200

= 56000 yards²

Therefore, area of the actual park is 56000 square yards.
