To solve this problelm you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. The area of the map of the rectangular park is:
[tex]A=(4in)(6in)\\ A=24in^{2}[/tex]
2. You know that 6 square inches must represent 24 square inches, therefore, you have that the scale is:
[tex]6:24[/tex]
3. Simplify it by dividing by six:
[tex]1:4[/tex]
Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: [tex]1:4[/tex].
Answer : The map needs to be reproduce at a scale of 4 inches so it can fit in a brochure.
Explanation :
Length of rectangular park = 4 inches
Breadth of rectangular park = 6 inches
∴ Area of rectangular park = length × breadth
= 4×6
= 24 square inches
Since the map needs to be reproduce at a different scale so that it has an area of 6 square inches and can fit in a brochure.
So, scale needs to be reproduce = [tex]\frac{24}{6}[/tex]
= 4 inches
∴ The map should be reproduce to 4 inches scale to get fit in a brochure.
