Answer:

C. 14 ft by 21 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to set up an equation:

3 1/2" over x' = 1/4" over 1'

7/2 = 1/4x

14' = x

Next, do the same thing for the other side of the drawing (5 1/4")

5 1/4" over y' = 1/4" over 1'

21/4 = 1/4y

21' = y

So the answer is 14 ft by 21 ft (C)
