To find the answer, first lets divide the width and length by the scale amount given, 2 cm.
Width: 4 cm / 2 cm = 2
Length: 6 cm / 2 cm = 3
After this, we multiply the result by the amount to scale up, in this case 4 feet.
Width: 2 * 4 = 8 feet
Length: 3 * 4 = 12 feet
Therefore the answer is the first option.
