Brady made a scale drawing of the state of colorado. he used a scale of 1 inch to 20 miles. the length of the scale drawing is 19 inches, and its width is 14 inches. Since it is too big, brady makes another drawing using a scale of 1 inch to 40 miles. Since the actual size for an inch drawing is doubled, the length and width of the drawing will be halved L = 9.5 in and W = 7 in
