The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
[scale]=0.5/12
[scale]=[copy of a painting]/[<span>original painting]
</span><span>dimensions </span>copy of a painting--------------> 1.75 in x 5.25 in
for 1.75 in
[original painting]=[copy of a painting]/[scale]
[original painting]=[1.75]/[(0.5/12)]=42 cm
for 5.25 in
[original painting]=[copy of a painting]/[scale]
[original painting]=[5.25]/[(0.5/12)]=126 cm
the answer Part A) isthe dimensions of the original painting are 42 cm x 126 cm
Part B)
<span>Find the area of the original painting.
[</span>area of the original painting]=42*126=5292 cm²
<span>
the answer Part B) is
</span>
area of the original painting is 5292 cm²
<span>
Part C)
</span><span>One centimeter is equal to approximately 0.033 foot. Find the dimensions of the original painting in feet.
</span>
the dimensions of the original painting are 42 cm x 126 cm
then
for 42 cm
if 1 cm----------------> 0.033 ft
42 cm----------------> X
X=42*0.033=1.386 ---------> 1.386 ft
for 126 cm
if 1 cm----------------> 0.033 ft
126 cm----------------> X
X=126*0.033=4.158 --------> 4.158 ft
the answer Part C) is
the dimensions of the original painting in feet are 1.386 ft x 4.158 ft
Part D) <span>Find the area of the painting in square feet. Round to the nearest thousands.
</span>
the dimensions of the original painting in feet are 1.386 ft x 4.158 ft
{Area original painting in feet]=1.386*4.158=5.763 ft²
the answer part C) is
the area original painting in feet is 5.763 ft²
