The actual area of the tennis court is 264 m²

First use the scale to find the actual dimensions of the court:

1 cm : 0.8m

30 cm in the drawing would be:

= 0.8 x 30

= 24 m outside

13.75cm in the drawing would be:

= 0.8 x 13.75

= 11 m outside

Area of a rectangle (which is what the dimensions resemble):

= Length x width

= 24 x 11

= 264 m²

In conclusion, the area of the tennis court is 264 m²
