Answer:

2.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale for the diagram of the doghouse is:

$1\text{inch:}3\text{ feet}$

The length of the scale doghouse = 0.75 inch

Let the length of the actual doghouse = x.

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1\text{inch}}{3\text{feet}}=\frac{0.75\text{inches}}{\text{x feet}}| \\ x=3*0.75 \\ x=2.25\text{feet} \end{gathered}$

The length of the actual doghouse is 2.25 feet.
