A square piece of land is to be divided into 4 square quadrants of equal size. On a map, the entire piece of land measures 6 inches long on each side. The scale of the map is inch = 20 feet. How much area will be included in each quadrant when the piece of land is divided?
A.43,200 ft2
B.27,000 ft2
C.14.400 ft2
D.10,800 ft2

The scale of the map is inch = 20 feet.

This statement must be incorrect or the fraction of the inch is missing.

Because 6" long, at a scale of one inch = 20 feet, would only be 120 feet x 120 feet.

120 x 120 = 14,000 ft^2 and each of the four quadrants wouls only be 3600 ft^2.
