Answer:
3/4 inch by 1/2 inch (length - width)
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1/2 inch equals 8 feet on the scale drawing, this means that 1/4 inch on the scale drawing equals 4 feet, by dividing 2 on both sides.
The storage shed is 12 feet long, and 4 feet on the scale drawing equal 1/4 inch. By multiplying the scale of 1/4 inch = 4 feet by 3 on both sides, we get 3/4 inch = 12 feet. This means that the length of the storage shed can be represented by 3/4 inch.
Since 1/2 inch equals 8 feet and the width of the storage shed is 8 feet, the width can be represented by 1/2 inch on the scale drawing.
