Answer:

175 inches by 224 inches

Explanation:

Given that the document was redrawn to scale twice, the final dimension of the drawing is the multiple of the original dimension and the result of the division of the initial and final scale drawing.

If the first drawing resulting in a scale of 112 and the second resulted in a 14 scales, the resultant scale factor

= 112/14

= 7

Hence the document originally at 25 inches by 32 inches is redrawn as

25 * 7 inches by 32 * 7 inches

= 175 inches by 224 inches
