<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The actual area of the base of the building is 4418 ft²
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>1- Getting the actual dimensions of the building:</u>
We are given that the model used is:
1 in corresponding to 47 ft
<u>Now, we get the actual dimensions:</u>
a. The width of the model base is 1 in which means 47 ft
b. The length of the model base is 2 in which means 2*47 = 94 in
<u>2- Getting the area of the base of the building:</u>
Area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width
<u>We have calculated from part 1:</u>
length of base of building is 94 in
width of base of building is 47 in
<u>This means that:</u>
Area of base of building = 47 * 94 = 4418 ft²
Hope this helps :)
