Answer: The sides of the triangle on the drawing should be 6 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A triangle with sides 12 feet, 16 feet, and 18 feet on a drawing where 1 inch = 2 feet.

Then, 1 feet of original triangle =[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inch on drawing.

Now, the sides of the triangle on the drawing are:-

12 feet =[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times12=6\text{ inches}[/tex]

12 feet =[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times16=8\text{ inches}[/tex]

12 feet =[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times18=9\text{ inches}[/tex]

Hence, the sides of the triangle on the drawing should be 6 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches.
