Answer:
Area of the Scale drawing is
square inches.
Explanation:
First we need to convert feet and inches to a common unit. For that lets convert feet into inches.
1 feet = 12 inches
Therefore,
The length of the floor in inches:
feet =
inches
=
inches
The width of the floor in inches:
feet =
inches
=
inches
Now lets calculate by how many times the length has been scaled down:
432 inches of length has been reduced to 9 inches.

So the length has been scaled down 48 times.
Now lets scale down the width 48 times:

So the width of the Scale drawing is 8 inches.
Area of the Scale drawing = Scaled down length * Scaled down width
=

=
square inches
