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)Responses68 inches68 inches20 inches20 inches12 inches12 inches40 inches
To find the length of the scale drawing, we can use the scale factor:
Scale factor = Width of scale drawing / Actual width
Scale factor = 8 inches / 24 feet = 1/3
Length in scale drawing = Scale factor * Actual length
Length in scale drawing = 1/3 * 36 feet = 12 inches
So, the length of the scale drawing is 12 inches.
Now, we can find the perimeter in the scale drawing:
Perimeter in actual mural = 2 * (width + length) = 2 * (24 feet + 36 feet) = 120 feet
Perimeter in scale drawing = Scale factor * Perimeter in actual mural
Perimeter in scale drawing = 1/3 * 120 feet = 40 inches
Therefore, the PERIMETER, in inches, of the mural in the scale drawing is 40 inches.
