A rectangular mural is 24 feet in width and 36 feet in length. A scale drawing of the mural has a width of 8 inches. Find the length. What is the AREA, in inches, of the mural in the scale drawing?(1 point)
864 in2
40 in2
72 in2
96 in2
The scale factor is 24 feet = 8 inches, so the length on the scale drawing would be (36 feet / 24 feet) * 8 inches = 12 inches.
Therefore, the area of the mural on the scale drawing is 8 inches * 12 inches = 96 square inches
So, the correct answer is 96 in2.
