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's scale drawing?
(1 point)
• 12 square inches
• 192 square inches
• 96 square inches
3 square meters
To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we need to use the scale factor given in the table.
Let's assume the original poster's dimensions are a length of 12 inches and a width of 8 inches. The scale factor provided in the table for the length is 1/4.
So, the length of Alfredo's scale drawing would be 12 inches * 1/4 = 3 inches.
Now, to find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we multiply the length and width of the scale drawing:
Area = length * width
Area = 3 inches * 8 inches
Area = 24 square inches
Therefore, the area of Alfredo's scale drawing is 24 square inches.
None of the given options match the correct area.
