Answer:

36 FEET

Explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

scale = 9 / 3 = 3

1 inch : 3 feet

Actual height = 12 x 3 = 36
