    Answer: The length of the beetle in the drawing is 9 cm.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, since is a scaling up scale, we have to multiply the original length of the beetle (1.8 cm) by 5 to obtain the length of the beetle in the drawing.

    Mathematically speaking

    5 x 1.8 = 9 cm

    The length of the beetle in the drawing is 9 cm.

    This type of scale is used to increase in size.

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
