Question

The high school debate team is developing a logo to represent their club. A scale drawing of the logo design is presented below, where each unit of the grid represents 3 inches in length.
The team is printing out an enlargement of the new logo, where the enlargement has a height of 105 inches.

The area of the enlargement will be _ (1. 10 2. 5270 3. 105 4. 2,250 5. 450)
inches2, which is _ (1. 1/3 2. 1/5 3. 25 4. 3 5. 5 6. 1/25)
times the size of the original scale drawing.

To determine the area of the enlargement and how many times larger it is compared to the original scale drawing, we first need to analyze the scale model of the logo.

1. **Identify the dimensions of the original logo**:
Since each grid unit represents 3 inches, we need to know the dimensions of the original logo based on the scale drawing. If the height of the system in grid units is \( h \) and the width is \( w \), then the original height in inches is \( 3h \) and the width in inches is \( 3w \).

2. **Enlargement Height**:
The height of the enlargement is given as 105 inches. If the original height is \( 3h \) inches, we can find the scaling factor \( k \) for the enlargement:
\[
k = \frac{\text{Height of Enlargement}}{\text{Height of Original}} = \frac{105}{3h}
\]
Simplifying gives:
\[
k = \frac{35}{h}
\]

3. **Finding the Area Ratio**:
The original area \( A_{original} \) of the logo can be calculated as:
\[
A_{original} = (3w) \times (3h) = 9wh \text{ (inches}^2\text{)}
\]
The area of the enlargement, using the scale factor for both dimensions, becomes:
\[
A_{enlargement} = (3w \times k) \times (3h \times k) = (3w) \times (3h) \times k^2 = 9wh \times k^2
\]
Substituting for \( k \):
\[
A_{enlargement} = 9wh \times \left(\frac{35}{h}\right)^2 = 9wh \times \frac{1225}{h^2} = 9w \times 1225 \times \frac{1}{h} = \frac{11025w}{h}
\]

4. **Area Comparison**:
The ratio of the area of the enlargement to the area of the original drawing is given by:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{A_{enlargement}}{A_{original}} = \frac{\frac{11025w}{h}}{9wh} = \frac{11025}{9h^2}
\]
Given \( 9 = 3^2 \), this ratio will simplify based on \( h \).

5. **Calculating Specific Values**:
- If the original area is dimensions \( 9 (for example, 9 inches^2) \) and choosing \( 3 (25) \) as a possible ratio would give us values to fill in.

Without specific dimensions of the logo in the grid (the height and width in grid squares), you would need to use those to compute exact calculations. If we follow through with values, we notice our ratio matches the answers available based on reasonable estimates.

Given height of enlargement is 105, you could easily deduce:
\[
A_{enlargement} = \text{Height (105)/ original height} \cdots
\]

In conclusion:
- The area of the enlargement is likely identified here as \( 2,250 \, \text{inches}^2 \, (based \, on \, enlargements)\)
- The ratio of the enlargement to the original area would relate back by \( 25 \) times.

Final choices would lean towards:
- Area: **2250**
- Ratio: **25**
