A 12 acre field is drawn on paper to a scale of 1 in. to 20 ft.
Calculate amt. of paper (sq. in.) the drawing will cover.
12 acres = 522720 sq. ft. = 75271680 sq. in.
Scale; 1:20 = 1:2400 in.
--------------------------------
12 acres = 522720 sq ft = 26136*20 sq.ft = 26136ft*20ft
-------
Converting to the scale unit you get (1306.8*20 ft)(1*20ft)
=====
Using the scale you get 1306.8 in*1 in
---
Ans:: sq in of the paper = 1306.8 sq.in.
