The actual length of the fence is 215 inches

Explanation:

Length of fence in drawing = 3.75 inches

Actual length of the fence = 24 ft

= 288 inches

Scale factor = 288/3.75

= 76.8

Length of fence in drawing = 2.8 inches

Actual length = 2.8 x 76.8

= 215 inches

The actual length of the fence is 215 inches
