A scale drawing of an office space uses a scale of 2 inches in 3 yards the scale drawing has an area of 16 in.² what is the area of the actual office space

36 Square Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The Scale Drawing uses a ratio

2 Inches : 3 Yards

Therefore,

1 Inch = 3/2 Yards

If the area of the scale drawing is 16 Inch²

To get the area of the actual office, we multiply by the square of the scale factor.

Scale Factor=3/2

Therefore:

The area of the actual office space

=16X(3/2)² Square Yards

=36 Square Yards

the answer

b. they are parallel and will never intersect.
