Answer:

Last option is the correct one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following drawing is the scale drawing of the computer lab -The length of the rectangle is labeled as length equal to 8 cm and the width is labeled as width equal to 12 cm.

Given is : The length of the lab is 32 feet and the width of the lab is 48 feet and each 8 feet of the lab equals 2 centimeters on a scale drawing.

So, We will divide the actual length with 8 and multiply by 2 as 8 feet is equal to 2 cm.

So, length will be =
(48)/(8) *2=12 cm

Width will be =
(32)/(8) *2=8 cm

Hence, option D is correct.
