To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we need to use the scale factor given by the dimensions of the original poster and the scale drawing.
Original poster dimensions:
Length = 24 inches
Width = 36 inches
Area = Length x Width = 24 x 36 = 864 in²
Scale drawing dimensions:
Length = 6 inches
Width = 9 inches
Area = Length x Width = 6 x 9 = 54 in²
Scale factor = original area / scale drawing area = 864 / 54 = 16
Now we can find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing by calculating the area of the scale drawing using the scale factor:
Area = 54 in² x 16 = 864 in²
Therefore, the area of Alfredo's scale drawing is 864 in².
