Question

Hank is planning his vegetable garden. He has created the scale drawing at right. The actual area for the tomatoes will be feet by feet. All angles are right angles.
If the horizontal length of the zucchini plot shown in the diagram is
inches, what is the area of the real vegetable garden in square feet?

Answer 1

The area of the real vegetable garden is 225 feet².

What is the area of the vegetable garden?

A scale drawing is a reduced image of another larger image. A scale drawing is sometimes needed to visualise a project that is about to be undertaken. A scale is reduced by constant dimensions.

The garden has a rectangular shape as it has four right angles and the length and width are of different sizes.

Area of a rectangle = length x width

In order to determine the area of the real vegetable garden, the scale of the drawing has to be determined.

Scale  = original length / length of the scale diagram

12 feet / 2 inches = 6 feet : 1 inch

Length of the scale drawing = 2 inches

Width of the scale drawing = 1 5/8 + 1.5 inches : 1.625 + 1.5 = 3.125 inches

Length of the real garden = 12 feet

Width of the real garden = 3.125 x 6 = 18.75

Area = 18.75 x 12 = 225 feet²

Here is the complete question:

Here Hank is planning his vegetable garden. He has created the scale drawing below. He is planning for the actual area for the tomatoes to be  12 feet by  9 feet. All angles are right angles.  If the horizontal length of the zucchini plot shown in the diagram is 1 5/8 inches, what is the area of the real vegetable garden in square feet?
