Ascale drawing of the side view of a house is shown at the right. find the total area (in square inches) of the side of the house in the drawing

The total area of the side of the house in the drawing is

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Convert the actual dimensions of the side view of a house to the dimensions of the drawing

The scale of the drawing is

so

The total area is equal to the area of rectangle plus the area of triangle

so

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
