Question

Stacy is making a scale drawing of her backyard. There is a triangular-shaped flower garden with dimensions of 6feet, 8feet, and 10ft. She is using the scale 1inch=2feet. Find the perimeter of the flower garden in her drawing.

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter of the flower garden in the drawing is $12\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is equal to $\frac{1}{2}\frac{in}{ft}$

To find the dimensions in the drawing multiply the actual dimensions by the scale drawing

so

$(6\ ft)*\frac{1}{2}\frac{in}{ft}=3\ in$

$(8\ ft)*\frac{1}{2}\frac{in}{ft}=4\ in$

$(10\ ft)*\frac{1}{2}\frac{in}{ft}=5\ in$

The perimeter of the flower garden in the drawing is equal to

$P=3+4+5=12\ in$
