Answer:

  (b)  Length = 30 feet, width = 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is applied to the drawing dimensions to find the actual dimensions.

__

  length = (6 cm) × (5 ft)/(1 cm) = 30 ft

  width = (4 cm) × (5 ft)/(1 cm) = 20 ft

_____

Additional comment

You can also write the scale factor as part of a proportion:

  5 ft : 1 cm :: x ft : 6 cm

Multiplying by 6 cm gives

  (5 ft)(6 cm)/(1 cm) = x ft = 30 ft . . . . as above
