Answer 1

To accurately scale the dimensions to the drawing of the triangular wooden house, we'll use the scale provided: 1 inch = 3 feet.

Here's how you can convert the actual measurements to the scale:

1. **12 ft**:
- In inches: \( \frac{12 \text{ ft}}{3 \text{ ft/in}} = 4 \text{ in} \)

2. **16 ft**:
- In inches: \( \frac{16 \text{ ft}}{3 \text{ ft/in}} \approx 5.33 \text{ in} \) (or 5 inches and a bit)

3. **20 ft**:
- In inches: \( \frac{20 \text{ ft}}{3 \text{ ft/in}} \approx 6.67 \text{ in} \) (or 6 inches and a bit)

4. **18 ft**:
- In inches: \( \frac{18 \text{ ft}}{3 \text{ ft/in}} = 6 \text{ in} \)

5. **15 ft**:
- In inches: \( \frac{15 \text{ ft}}{3 \text{ ft/in}} = 5 \text{ in} \)

**Summary of conversions:**
- 12 ft = 4 in
- 16 ft = 5.33 in (~5.5 in)
- 20 ft = 6.67 in (~6.7 in)
- 18 ft = 6 in
- 15 ft = 5 in

### Steps to Drag Actual Dimensions:
- Identify the location on the drawing that corresponds to each measurement and drag the converted inches next to the respective parts of the house based on where they belong (like the roof height, width, or sides).

If you have a visual representation or specific marked areas on the drawing for each dimension, ensure you place them accordingly.
