Answer: The actual area of the base of the building is 4900 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given, the scale on the model: 1 inch = 35 feet

In model,

Length= 4 feet , Width = 1 inch

As per scale ,

Actual length =  4 x 35 feet

= 140 feet

Actual width = 35 feet

Area of base of the building = Length x width

= 140 x 35

= 4900 square feet

Hence, the actual area of the base of the building is 4900 square feet.
