Answer:

  256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the first inscribed triangle are 1/2 those of the original, so its area is (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original. The area of the original is ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16/√2)(16/√2) = 64 . . . . square inches

The sum of an infinite series with first term 64 and common ratio 1/4 is ...

  S = a1/(1 -r) . . . . . . for first term a1 and common ratio r

  = 64/(1 -1/4) = 64(4/3) = 256/3 . . . . square inches

The sum of the areas of the triangles is 256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches.

So the scale used was

<h2>1 inch = 6 feet                 ANSWER = A</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Length of library on drawing = 13 inches

Actual length of library = 78 feet

In order to find the scale we divide the actual length by the length of library on drawing.

So, scale = 1 inch = 6 feet
