Question

LaShaundra is buying fence for two triangular sections of her garden.

Answer 1

Answer: 80 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As you can see in the figure, triangle ABC and the triangle DFG are similar.

2. The scale of factor of triangle ABC to triangle DFG is the following:

$sf=\frac{20ft}{4ft}\\sf=5ft$

3. Therefore, the lenght of the side DG of the trinagle DFG is:

$DG=5*AC\\DG=5*7ft\\DG=35ft$

4. The perimeter of the triangle DFG is:

$P_{DFG}=20ft+25ft+35ft=80ft$

5. Therefore, she would need 80 feet of fence.
