To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we need to use the scale factor to determine the length of the left edge in the scale drawing.
Scale factor = Length of top edge in scale drawing / Length of top edge in original poster
Scale factor = 8 / 24 = 1/3
Now, we can use the scale factor to find the length of the left edge in the scale drawing:
Left edge in scale drawing = 1/3 * 36 = 12 inches
Now, we can calculate the area of the scale drawing:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 12 * 8
Area = 96 square inches
Therefore, the area of Alfredo's scale drawing is 96 square inches.
Use the table to answer the question.
