Given that 1 cm equals 2 m, we can convert the dimensions of the tennis court from the scale drawing to actual dimensions.
Length: 13 cm = 13 cm*2 m/cm = 26 m
Width: 4.5 cm = 4.5 cm*2 m/cm = 9 m
To find the actual area of the tennis court, we multiply the actual length by the actual width:
Area = 26 m * 9 m = 234 m^2
Therefore, the actual area of the tennis court is 234 square meters.
