Arlene wants to create a scale drawing of the poster shown below:
A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 6 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 9 inches.
What are the dimensions of the poster at one-third its current size? 2 in by 3 in
3 in by 3 in
18 in by 27 in
12 in by 18 in
To find the dimensions of the poster at one-third its current size, we need to multiply the length and width by one-third.
The length of the poster at one-third its current size is 6 inches * 1/3 = 2 inches.
The width of the poster at one-third its current size is 9 inches * 1/3 = 3 inches.
Therefore, the dimensions of the poster at one-third its current size are 2 inches by 3 inches. Thus, the answer is 2 in by 3 in.
