    D. When working with scales, always remember to convert. The dimensions of the actual forest become 8 X 15 and 14.5 X 15. To calculate the area, now just do: (8 X 15) X (14.5 X 15), which equals 26100.

    The dimension from 8 inches to actual size is 8 * 15 = 120. 14.5 inches to actual size is 14.5 * 15 = 217.5.

    Then, you multiply 120 to 217.5 to get 26100 square miles.

    The answer is D.
