A local food organization puts out a healthy foods poster. The poster is in the shape of a rectangle and its dimensions are given in the table Alfredo wants to make a smaller version of the poster to hang up in the community center. He makes a scale drawing of the poster with the length of the top edge given in the table what is the area of Alfredo scale drawing on the table on the left edge the original poster is 36 and the scale drawing is a? And on the top edge of the poster is 24 and the scale drawing is eight with the answer be 12 in.² 192 in.² 96 in.² are 1/3 inches .
To find the area of the scale drawing, we need to find the scale factor first. The scale factor is the ratio of the length of the corresponding sides of the original poster and the scale drawing.
The length of the top edge of the original poster is 36 inches, and the length of the top edge of the scale drawing is 8 inches. So, the scale factor for the length of the top edge is:
Scale Factor = Length of scale drawing / Length of original = 8 / 36 = 1/4
Next, we can find the length of the left edge of the scale drawing by applying the scale factor to the length of the left edge of the original poster:
Length of the left edge of scale drawing = Scale Factor x Length of original left edge
= 1/4 x 24 = 6 inches
Now, we can find the area of the scale drawing by multiplying the length of the left edge by the length of the top edge:
Area of scale drawing = Length of left edge x Length of top edge
= 6 x 8 = 48 in²
Therefore, the area of Alfredo's scale drawing on the table is 48 square inches. 96 in.² in the table is not correct.
The correct answer is 48 in.².
