Answer:

The actual area of land is 80 mi² .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we have to find the actual area so first we have to square the ratio(scale factor) :

1 in : 5 mi

(1 in)² : (5 mi)²

1 in² : 25 mi²

Next, the actual area will be :

1 in² = 25 mi²

(1 × 3.2) in² = (25 × 3.2) mi²

3.2 in² = 80 mi²
