To find the actual length of the park, we can use the scale provided. The scale states that 1 inch on the drawing represents 3 meters in reality.
The drawing shows a length of 8 inches. To convert this to meters, we multiply the number of inches by the scale factor:
\[
\text{Actual length} = \text{Length on drawing} \times \text{Scale factor}
\]
Substituting in the values:
\[
\text{Actual length} = 8 \text{ inches} \times 3 \text{ meters/inch}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Actual length} = 24 \text{ meters}
\]
Thus, the actual length of the park is **24 meters**.
