Scale drawing of a poster with lengths 36, 24, 8 . What is the area of the scale drawing?
To find the area of the scale drawing, we first need to determine the scale factor by comparing the lengths of the actual poster to the lengths of the scale drawing.
Scale factor = Length of scale drawing / Length of actual poster
For the given lengths:
Length of actual poster = 36, 24, 8
Length of scale drawing = x, y, z
Scale factor for x = x / 36
Scale factor for y = y / 24
Scale factor for z = z / 8
Let's assume x = 4, y = 3, z = 1 as a scale factor for simplicity.
Now, we can calculate the area of the scale drawing using the scale factor:
Area of scale drawing = (x * y) = (4 * 3) = 12
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 12.
