To find the length of the mural in the scale drawing, we can use a proportion:
24 feet is to 8 inches as 36 feet is to x inches
24/8 = 36/x
3 = 36/x
x = 36/3
x = 12
So, the length of the mural in the scale drawing is 12 inches.
The area of the mural in the scale drawing is:
Area = width x length
Area = 8 inches x 12 inches
Area = 96 square inches
Therefore, the area of the mural in the scale drawing is 96 square inches.
