Final Answer:
2800 m²

Explanation:
- The drawing shows the land as 4 cm by 7 cm.
- The scale says 1 cm on paper = 10 meters in real life.
- So, 4 cm becomes 4 × 10 = 40 meters.
- And 7 cm becomes 7 × 10 = 70 meters.
- Now, to find the real area, multiply the real length and width: 40 × 70 = 2800 m².
- You don’t just multiply the cm numbers and then the scale once — you have to scale both sides first, then multiply. That’s why it’s 2800, not 280.
