Answer:

C.

2.67 inches by 2.27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

1 in        x inches

-------- = ---------

7.5 ft       20 ft

Using cross products

1*20 = 7.5x

Divide each side by 7.5

20/7.5 =7.5x/7.5

2.67 =x

We can do the same for the other dimension

1 in        x inches

-------- = ---------

7.5 ft       17 ft

Using cross products

1*17 = 7.5x

Divide each side by 7.5

17/7.5 =7.5x/7.5

2.27 =x

2.67 inches by 2.27 inches
