Answer 2

a) 40 ft

b) 7 inches

Explanation:

A) Multiply the given scale factor by 8 to get 8 inches:

1 in : 5 ft ⇒ 8 in : 40 ft

The real house is 40 ft high.

__

B) If you like, you can write the proportion ...

dwg / (35 ft) = 1 in / (5 ft)

Multiplying by 35 ft gives ...

dwg = (1 in)×(35 ft)/(5 ft) = 7 in

The length of the house in the scale drawing is 7 inches.
