Explanation:
5.1 cm on paper corresponds to 5.1*100 = 510 meters in real life due to the scale 1 cm = 100 m.
11.9 cm on paper corresponds to 11.9*100 = 1190 meters in real life.
The 5.1 cm by 11.9 cm rectangle on paper corresponds to the real life counterpart of 510 meters by 1190 meters.
The actual area of the real life park is length*width = 510*1190 = 606,900 square meters
