Answer:

The actual dimensions of the kitchen are [tex]12\ ft[/tex] by [tex]14\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale  of the drawing

To find the scale , remember that is equal to the ratio of  the corresponding dimension in the drawing divided by the corresponding actual dimension

so

[tex]\frac{0.8}{4}\frac{in}{ft}=0.2\frac{in}{ft}[/tex]

step 2

To find the actual dimensions of the kitchen, divide the dimension in the drawing by the scale

so

[tex]2.4\ in=2.4/0.2=12\ ft[/tex]

[tex]2.8\ in=2.8/0.2=14\ ft[/tex]
