Next, find the area of the playground on the map.

Question

A scale map of a park with dimensions 20 in by 20 in. Within the park are a picnic area and a playground with dimensions 16 in by 5 in.
The area of the playground is
square in.

Answer 1

To find the area of the playground, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \]

In this case, the dimensions of the playground are 16 inches (length) and 5 inches (width).

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Area} = 16 , \text{in} \times 5 , \text{in} = 80 , \text{square inches} \]

Thus, the area of the playground is 80 square inches.
