A model of a rectangular patio at a landscaping business will be enlarged by a scale factor of 2 when it is installed in a custo

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

C) The area of the landscape model is A = 40 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original dimensions of the rectangular patio model is

Length = L

Width = W

Area of the patio model = LENGTH x WIDTH = L x W

⇒ A = L W ............. (1)

Now, the new area A" is enlarged by a factor of 2

⇒ The new Length = L" = (2 L)

The new Width = W" = (2 W)

So, AREA" = L" x W" = (2 L) x (2 W) = 4 (L W)

⇒ A " = 4 (L W)

But, L W = A .. from (1)

⇒ A" = 4 A

But, the area of the new enlarged patio is 160 square feet.

⇒ 160 sq ft = 4 x A

or, A = 160 / 4 =40 sq ft

⇒ A = 40 sq ft.

Hence, the area of the landscape model is A = 40 sq ft.
