Part B: What is the area of the sign, in square feet? Show every step of your work. (2 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

The sign will be 5 feet wide and 11.25 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we convert the dimensions of the drawn design into feet. To do this divide each of the dimensions given by 12.

4/12=1/3, 9/12=3/4

Then, you multiply each of the dimensions by 15, the scale factor.

(1/3)*15=5, (3/4)*15=45/4=11.25.

Therefore, the sign will be 5 feet wide and 11.25 feet long.
