tus mami es un bonita!! Question 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 Skip to navigation
To find the length of the scale drawing, we need to use proportions.
24 feet is equivalent to 288 inches (since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches)
36 feet is equivalent to 432 inches
Now, let's set up a proportion:
288 inches (actual width) is to 24 feet (actual width) as x inches (scale drawing width) is to 8 inches (scale drawing width)
288/24 = x/8
12 = x/8
x = 96 inches
So, the length of the mural in the scale drawing is 96 inches.
To find the perimeter in the scale drawing, we add the width and length and then multiply by 2:
Perimeter = (8 + 96) x 2
Perimeter = 104 x 2
Perimeter = 208 inches
Therefore, the PERIMETER, in inches, of the mural in the scale drawing is 208 inches.
rememnber the scale drawing is 8in
I apologize for the error in my previous response. If the scale drawing has a width of 8 inches, then we need to adjust the calculations accordingly.
To find the length of the scale drawing using proportions:
24 feet is equivalent to 288 inches
36 feet is equivalent to 432 inches
Setting up the proportion:
288 inches (actual width) is to 24 feet (actual width) as x inches (scale drawing width) is to 8 inches (scale drawing width)
288/24 = x/8
12 = x/8
x = 96 inches
Therefore, the length of the mural in the scale drawing is 96 inches.
To find the perimeter in the scale drawing:
Perimeter = (8 + 96) x 2
Perimeter = 104 x 2
Perimeter = 208 inches
Therefore, the PERIMETER, in inches, of the mural in the scale drawing is 208 inches. Thank you for pointing out the scale drawing width.
