The dimensions i.e. length and width of the deck in the drawing is 8 and 6.4 inches respectively.

Given that the length of the previous deck = 15 feet

The width of the previous deck = 12 feet

Since the new deck will add 5 feet to the length and 4 feet to the width,

The length of the new deck = 15 + 5 = 20 feet

The width of the new deck = 12 + 4 = 16 feet

Also given that a drawing of the new deck uses a scale of 1 inch = 2.5 feet.

So, The length of the deck in the drawing = 20/2.5 inches = 8 inches

The width of the deck in the drawing = 16/2.5 inches = 6.4 inches

Therefore, the dimensions i.e. length and width of the deck in the drawing is 8 and 6.4 inches respectively.
