To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing of the poster, we first need to use the dimensions of the scale drawing given in the table.
The dimensions for the scale drawing are:
- Left edge (width): 9 inches
- Top edge (height): 8 inches
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its width by its height.
So, the area \( A \) of the scale drawing is:
\[
A = \text{width} \times \text{height} = 9 \, \text{inches} \times 8 \, \text{inches} = 72 \, \text{inches}^2
\]
However, it appears that 72 in² is not among the options you've provided. It seems there might be a misunderstanding in the options or the dimensions. Please double-check the dimensions or the choices, as based on the provided scale drawing dimensions, the area is clearly 72 in².
