Answer:
25 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object
the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension
scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing
Area if a square = length²
225 = length²
length = √225
length = 15
if the map is drawn to scale of 1 : 3
the length on the map = 15/3 = 5
area of the square 5 x 5 = 25
