Answer:

2.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual Dimension of bedroom = 10' * 8'

In the model ; longer side = 3 inches

Length of shorter side in the model ;

Longer side of actual bedroom = 10'

Scale factor * length = model length

Scale factor * 10 = 3

Scale factor = 3/10

Hence, length of shorter side :

Scale factor * actual length of shorter side

3/10 * 8

24 / 10

= 2.4 inches
