Since the scale on the blueprint is 1 inch = 7 feet, we can calculate the actual width of the balcony as follows:
1 inch * 7 feet/inch = 7 feet
Therefore, the actual dimensions of the balcony are 7 feet wide and 7 feet long. The perimeter of the balcony is calculated as follows:
Perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length) = 2(7) + 2(7) = 14 + 14 = 28 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the balcony is 28 feet. The correct answer is 28 feet.
1 inch * 7 feet/inch = 7 feet
Therefore, the actual dimensions of the balcony are 7 feet wide and 7 feet long. The perimeter of the balcony is calculated as follows:
Perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length) = 2(7) + 2(7) = 14 + 14 = 28 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the balcony is 28 feet. The correct answer is 28 feet.
