Answer:

Kindly check if any file is attached.

The actual width of the entire building is 28 feet and the length of the entire building is 84 feet.

Explanation:

  • The scale factor is defined as the number or the conversion factor which is used to change the size of a figure without changing its shape. It is used to increase or decrease the size of an object. The scale factor can be calculated if the dimensions of the original figure and the dimensions of the dilated (increased or decreased) figure are known.
  • Scale factor = Dimensions of the new shape ÷ Dimensions of the original shape.
  • Now, width = 8 inches in feet is 4 × 7 =28 feet
  • Length = 14+10 =24 inches in feet is 12 × 7 = 84 feet
  • Therefore, the actual width of the entire building is 28 feet and the length of the entire building is 84 feet.
