Jefferson Elementary has a rectangular playground. A scale drawing of the playground is shown below.
10.5 cm
4.2 cm
The shortest side of the playground has an actual length of 33.6 meters.
What is the actual area, in square meters, of the playground?

I'm sorry if I get this wrong, but there isn't enough evidence.

If we think about the shorter side being 4.2 cm, then just divide 33.6 by 4.2 to give it a ratio. 33.6 / 4.2 is 8. The ratio of the scale drawing to the actual playground would be 1 : 8.

The longer side is 10.5, so just multiply that by 8. You'd get 84 meters. The only part left is getting the area.

Multiply 84 x 33.6 and you'd get 2822.4

The answer would be 2,822.4 squared.
