Answer:

Actual area of the rectangular building = 5040 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangular building = 7 feet

Width of the rectangular building = 5 feet

Now, The building is made with a scale factor of 12

So, Actual length of the rectangular building = 84 feet

Actual width of the rectangular building = 60 feet

Now, Actual area of the rectangular building = Length × Width

⇒ Actual area of the rectangular building = 84 × 60

⇒ Actual area of the rectangular building = 5040 feet²
