The correct answer is 7.5 inches. Since the longer side is 9 inches in the original parallelogram and 22.5 inches in Tiyane's scale drawing, we can calculate the scale factor by dividing 22.5 by 9, which equals 2.5. Therefore, to find the length of the shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing, we multiply the original length of 3 inches by the scale factor of 2.5, resulting in 7.5 inches.
