• The scale is 1 inch = 4 feet.
• The dimensions of the porch are 16 feet long and 12 feet wide.

`16ft(1in)/(4ft)=4in`

`12ft(1in)/(4ft)=3in`

Therefore, the scale dimensions of the porch are 4 inches long and 3 inches wide.

Additionally, we can find the new area, which is

`A=l * w\\A=4 in * 3 in\\A=12in^(2)`
