Answer:
14 sq. mi.
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the scale we can see that for every inch there are an actual 4 miles in the town. Therefore, this is 4 times the model version meaning that if the model's area is calculated as 3.5 square inches then we can multiply this by 4 to get the actual area of the town.
3.5 sq. in. * 4 = 14 sq. miles
Finally, we can see that the area of the town is 14 sq. mi.
