Answer: Height= 2.67 in.

Length = 5.75 in.

Explanation:

Given : A scale drawing uses the scale 1 in = 12 in.

i.e. 1 in. of drawing = 12 in. of actual figure.

i.e. 1 in. of actual figure =
of drawing. (1)

For couch :

Height = 32 inches

Length = 69 inches

Then, the measurements on the scale drawing will be :-

Height=
$(1)/(12)*{32}=2.67\text{ in.}$ (using (1))

Length =
$(1)/(12)*{69}=5.75\text{ in.}$ (using (1))

Hence, the measurements of couch on the scale drawing:

Height= 2.67 in.

Length = 5.75 in.
