Answer: 576 inches or 48 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
set up a proportion where [tex]\frac{drawing AB}{actual AB} =\frac{drawing perimeter}{actual perimeter}[/tex]
so you get drawingAB = 24 in
actualAB = 18 feet = 18 * 12 in = 216 in
drawing perimeter = 64 in
so plug these in to get[tex]\frac{24}{216} =\frac{64}{actual perimeter}[/tex]
rearrange to get [tex]actual perimeter = \frac{216 * 64}{24}[/tex]
and solve to get 576 inches or 576/12 = 48 feet
