The model has a rectangular base; W(model) = 1.5 ft , L(model) = 2 ft.
     If the scale is 1 : 150, then the length and the width of the actual railroad building are 150 times larger.
       W = 1.5 150 = 225 ft
       L = 2 150 = 300 ft.
       Area: A = L W = 300 225 = 67,500 ft²
       Answer: the area of the base of the actual railroad building is 67,500 ft².
