Answer:
5⅝ in × 9 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of the actual length = 15 ft by (9 + 6 + 9) ft
Dimensions of the actual length = 15 by 24 ft = 15 ft × 24 ft
Using the scale given as ⅜ in = 1 ft, let's find the dimensions of Leah's scale drawing of the outer rectangle.
Multiply each dimension in ft by ⅜ to get the dimension of the outer rectangle's scale drawing:
[tex] 15 * \frac{3}{8} = \frac{15*3}{8} = \frac{45}{8} = 5\frac{5}{8} [/tex]
[tex] 24 * \frac{3}{8} = 3 * 3 = 9 in [/tex]
Therefore, the dimensions of the scale drawing of the outer rectangle = 5⅝ in × 9 in
