To find the scale of the drawing, we need to compare the dimensions of the original poster to the scale drawing.
Original poster:
Length: 36 inches
Width: 24 inches
Scale drawing:
Length: 8 inches
Width: 8 inches (since the scale is the same for both dimensions)
To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we use the formula for the area of a rectangle: length x width.
Area = 8 inches x 8 inches = 64 square inches
Therefore, Alfredo's scale drawing has an area of 64 square inches.
