To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we first need to calculate the scale factor.
The original poster dimensions are 24 inches by 36 inches, so the original area is:
Area = 24 inches * 36 inches = 864 square inches
If the length on the top edge of the scale drawing is 12 inches, then the scale factor is:
Scale factor = 12 inches / 24 inches = 0.5
To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we need to square the scale factor and then multiply by the original area:
Area of scale drawing = (0.5)^2 * 864 square inches = 0.25 * 864 square inches = 216 square inches
Therefore, the area of Alfredo's scale drawing is 216 square inches.
