Answer:
648 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale factor of drawing to actual flag = 1 : 18
This means the actual flag is 18 times bigger or larger than the drawing
To obtain the area in square inches of the actual flag :
Multiply the dimension of the drawing by 18 to obtain the actual dimension of the flag, then using the formular for the Area of a rectangle, we can obtain the actual area of the flag.
Actual width = 1 inch * 18 = 18 inches
Actual length = 2 inches * 18 = 36 inches
Actual area of flag = length * width
Actual area of flag = (18 * 36) inches
Actual area of flag = 648 in²
