Answer:

7 in by 8 in

Explanation:

The dimensions of the living room is 14 ft by 16 ft

In the scale drawing 2 in = 4 ft

$1\ \text{in}=2\ \text{ft}$

So, 1 in of the scale drawing represents 2 ft in the real world.

$1\ \text{ft of the actual dimension}=(1)/(2)\ \text{in in the scale drawing}$

$14\ \text{ft}=(14)/(2)=7\ \text{in of the scale drawing}$

$16\ \text{ft}=(16)/(2)=8\ \text{in of the scale drawing}$

Hence, the dimensions of the scale drawing are 7 in by 8 in.
