A rectangular mural is 24 feet in width and 36 feet in length A scale drawing of the mural has a width of 8inches find the length what is the perimeter in inches of the mural in the scale drawing
To find the length of the scale drawing, we need to use the scale provided. Since the width of the scale drawing is 8 inches and the actual width of the mural is 24 feet, we can set up a proportion:
24 feet / 8 inches = 36 feet / x inches
Solving for x, we get:
x = (8 inches * 36 feet) / 24 feet
x = 12 inches
Therefore, the length of the mural in the scale drawing is 12 inches.
To find the perimeter of the mural in the scale drawing, we add the width and length:
Perimeter = 2(Width + Length)
Perimeter = 2(8 inches + 12 inches)
Perimeter = 2(20 inches)
Perimeter = 40 inches
So, the perimeter of the mural in the scale drawing is 40 inches.
