Answer 2

Answer: 24 feet by 36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The scale drawing of a swimming pool measures 2 inches by 3 inches. on the drawing .

The scale of drawing is 0 .25 inches = 3 feet.

Therefore, 1 inch in drawing =$=\frac{3}{0.25}=12\ feet$

Now, the actual dimensions of the pool will be:-

$2\ inches =2\times12\ feet=24\ feet\\\\3\ inches =3\times12\ feet=36\ feet$

Hence, the actual dimensions of the pool  is 24 feet by 36 feet.
