Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:We have to match the scale and the area of the scale drawing to the area of the actual object.For the scale drawing : 1 inch to 'a' feet then actual area for the scale drawing will be 'a²' times the scale drawing area because area = (side)² Now we solve the given options.For the scale drawing : 1 inch to '3' feetActual area of 15 square inches scale : (3)²× 15 = 135 square feetFor the scale drawing : 1 inch to '3' feetActual area of 12 square inches scale : (3)²× 12 = 108 square feetFor the scale drawing : 1 inch to '2' feetActual area of 8 square inches scale : (2)²× 8 = 32 square feetFor the scale drawing : 1 inch to '2' feetActual area of 5 square inches scale : (2)²× 5 = 20 square feet
