The scale is:
1 in = 6 yards
Therefore, for the height and base of the office we have:
Height = 6 in = 6 x 6 = 36 yards
Base = 10 in = 10 x 6 = 60 yards
The area of the actual office is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=\frac{base\times height}{2} \\ \text{Area=}\frac{60\times36}{2} \\ \text{Area}=\frac{2160}{2} \\ \text{Area}=1080yd^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer: 1080 yards^2
