A rectangular mural is 24 feet in width and 36 feet in length. A scale drawing of the mural has a width of 8 inches. Find the length. What is the PERIMETER, in inches, of the mural in the scale drawing?(1 point) Responses 68 inches 68 inches 20 inches 20 inches 12 inches 12 inches 40 inches 40 inches
best answer
The scale of the drawing is 8 inches for 24 feet = 1 inch for 3 feet.
To find the length of the mural in the drawing, we need to find how many inches correspond to 36 feet:
36 feet * 1 inch/3 feet = 12 inches
Therefore, the length of the mural in the drawing is 12 inches.
To find the perimeter in the scale drawing, we add up the sides:
2(8 inches) + 2(12 inches) = 16 inches + 24 inches = 40 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the mural in the scale drawing is 40 inches.
