Answer 1

20 inches

To find the length of the scale drawing, we first need to calculate the scale factor:
Scale factor = Actual width / Scale width
Scale factor = 24 feet / 8 inches = 3

Therefore, the length of the scale drawing would be:
Length of scale drawing = Scale factor * Actual length
Length of scale drawing = 3 * 36 feet = 108 feet

Now, to find the perimeter of the scale drawing, we add up the sides:
Perimeter = 2 * (Width + Length)
Perimeter = 2 * (8 + 108) = 2 * 116 = 232 inches

Therefore, the answer is:
Perimeter = 232 inches
