Final answer:

To find the actual length for a drawing length, use the given scale and set up a proportion to solve for the actual length.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the actual length for each drawing length, we need to use the given scale of 1 inch : 11 feet. We can set up a proportion to solve for the actual length. Let's take option D, which is 33 inches, as an example.

We can set up the proportion:

1 inch / 11 feet = 33 inches / x

Cross multiplying, we get:

1 * x = 11 * 33

Simplifying, we find that the actual length is 363 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
