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? left edge (in) 36 . top edge (in) 24 that is the original poster and its measures. What is the scale drawing? all we have it the top edge (in) of the scale drawing which is 8. Now what is the area of alfrredos scale drawing
To find the scaling factor, we can divide the length of the top edge of the original poster by the length of the top edge of Alfredo's scale drawing:
Scale factor = 24 / 8 = 3
Now we can use this scaling factor to find the dimensions of Alfredo's scale drawing:
Top edge: 24 / 3 = 8 inches
Left edge: 36 / 3 = 12 inches
Now we can calculate the area of Alfredo's scale drawing:
Area = 8 inches * 12 inches = 96 square inches
Therefore, the area of Alfredo's scale drawing is 96 square inches.
