Answer: 204 square inches

Step-by-step explanation: I’m not really sure, but if you follow through with the normal area identifying method; Length x Width, you should come up with 25.5. After doing this, you could multiply your product by 8 because your actual mirror size is 8 times greater. You will come up with 204 square inches, which would be your final solution. (Once again, I am not sure, just doing how I’ve been understanding from studies).
