D. 15 x 24

Answer 1

*see attachment for the scale drawing

Answer:

5⅝ in × 9 in

Explanation:

Dimensions of the actual length = 15 ft by (9 + 6 + 9) ft

Dimensions of the actual length = 15 by 24 ft = 15 ft × 24 ft

Using the scale given as ⅜ in = 1 ft, let's find the dimensions of Leah's scale drawing of the outer rectangle.

Multiply each dimension in ft by ⅜ to get the dimension of the outer rectangle's scale drawing:

`15 * (3)/(8) = (15*3)/(8) = (45)/(8) = 5(5)/(8)`

`24 * (3)/(8) = 3 * 3 = 9 in`

Therefore, the dimensions of the scale drawing of the outer rectangle = 5⅝ in × 9 in
