best answer choice
The scale of the drawing is 8 inches for a length of 36 feet, which means 1 inch is equal to 4.5 feet (36 feet divided by 8 inches). Therefore, the length of the mural in the scale drawing will be 4.5 * 24 = 108 inches.
The area of the mural in the scale drawing will be 8 inches (width) * 108 inches (length) = 864 square inches.
So, the best answer choice is:
864 in2
