Question

Esmeralda draws a scale drawing of a rectangular community garden she helps manage. The scale factor from the drawing to the garden is 20. Based on the measurements of Esmeralda's drawing, what is the perimeter of the community garden?

Answer 1

Let's multiply the dimensions of the drawing by 20.

1 * 20 = 20 ft

2 1/4 * 20 = 45 ft

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides.

45 ft + 45 ft + 20 ft + 20 ft = 130 ft
