To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we first need to determine the scale factor.
Let's say the length of the top edge of the original poster is 20 inches. According to the table, the original poster dimensions are 20 inches by 30 inches.
The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the length of the top edge of the scale drawing by the length of the top edge of the original poster:
Scale factor = Length of top edge of scale drawing / Length of top edge of original poster
Scale factor = 10 / 20
Scale factor = 1/2
Now, we can calculate the dimensions of the scale drawing by multiplying the dimensions of the original poster by the scale factor:
Length of scale drawing = 20 inches * 1/2 = 10 inches
Width of scale drawing = 30 inches * 1/2 = 15 inches
The area of the scale drawing can be calculated by multiplying the length and width of the scale drawing:
Area of scale drawing = Length of scale drawing * Width of scale drawing
Area of scale drawing = 10 inches * 15 inches
Area of scale drawing = 150 square inches
Therefore, the area of Alfredo's scale drawing of the poster is 150 square inches.
