Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:= 486 in²Step-by-step explanation:Linear scale factor = Image distance/object distanceTherefore; Linear scale factor = OL'/OL                                                  = 54/ 12                                                  = 9/2 Area scale factor is equivalent to the square of linear scale factorThus;Area scale factor = (9/2)²                              = 81/4Hence; 81/4 = Area of larger rectangle/Area of smaller rectangleArea of the smaller rectangle = 4 ×6 = 24 in²Therefore; Area of enlarged or larger pic = 81/4× 24                                                   = 486 in²
