Parallel: the lines have = slopes. We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p. then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5. (answer)

Check: Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)? YES

Perp.: The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.

Then -6/5 = 2/p, or

-6 2
---- = ----
5 p Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3 (answer)

Michael received a grant to make a community garden. He makes a scale drawing of his vision for the garden. Michael's drawing sh

Mila [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram to the question attached.

From the diagram, we are given the following dimension for one of the beds;

Length = 16cm

Width = 8cm

If the scale from his drawing to the actual garden is 2 cm for every 1 ft, then on converting to feet;

2cm = 1ft

16cm = x fr

cross multiply

2x = 16

x = 8ft

Hence 16cm = 8ft (based on the scale)

Similarly:

2cm = 1ft

8cm = x fr

cross multiply

2x = 8

x = 4ft

Area of the garden bed (in feet) = Length * Width

Area of the garden bed = 8ft * 4ft

Area of the garden bed = 32ft²

Hence the actual area of one of the garden beds is 32ft². We need to find 2 things fir us to get the required answer. First is the length of the bed in feet and the second is the width of the bed in feet.
