1 answer

A. 7.5 inches

To find the length of the shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing, we need to set up a proportion. Since the longer side in the scale drawing is 22.5 inches, we can set it up as:

9 inches / 3 inches = 22.5 inches / x

Cross multiply to solve for x:

9 * x = 3 * 22.5
9x = 67.5
x = 67.5 / 9
x = 7.5 inches

Therefore, the length of the shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing is 7.5 inches.
