Explanation:

Step1: Use scale - multiplier relationship

The scale is 1 to 60, which means the actual length is 60 times the drawing length. The drawing length of the side is 2.75 in. So the actual length in inches is $2.75\times60 = 165$ in.

Step2: Convert inches to feet

Since 1 foot = 12 inches, to convert 165 inches to feet, we divide 165 by 12. So $165\div12=13.75$ ft.

Answer:

D. 165 in. and 13.75 ft
