a map of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width of 6 inches. It uses a scale of 1 inch for every mile. What is the actual area of the park?

The actual area of the park = 24 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A map of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width of 6 inches.

It uses a scale of 1 inch for every mile.

i.e. i inch on map = 1 actual mile

so, 4 inches   on map = 4 actual miles

6 inches on map =  6 actual miles

Area of rectangle = length x breadth

⇒ Area of rectangle = 6 x 4 square miles

= 24 square miles.

Hence, the actual area of the park = 24 square miles.
