Question:
A homeowner is building a flower bed in the backyard. He plans to put a layer of fertilizer over the entire flower bed.
Which expression represents the area in square feet that the homeowner will cover with fertilizer?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Determine an expression for the area
Area is calculated as:

First multiply 2 to both sides to isolate q. Since 2 is being divided by q, multiplication (the opposite of division) will cancel 2 out (in this case it will make 2 one) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.
× 2 < 2 × 2
q < 4
For the graph will you have a empty or colored in circle?
If the symbol is ≥ or ≤ then the circle will be colored in. This represents that the number the circle is on is included.
If the symbol is > or < then the circle will be empty. This represents that the number the circle is on is NOT included.
Which direction will the ray go?
If the variable is LESS then the number then the arrow will go to the left of the circle.
If the variable is MORE then the number then the arrow will go to the right of the circle.
In this case your inequality is:
q < 4
aka q is less then four
This means that the graph will have an empty circle and the arrow will go to the left of 4. (look at image below)

Answer:
Part a) The ratio of the perimeters is 
Part b) The ratio of the areas is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) What is the value of the ratio (new to original) of the perimeters?
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor
Let
z-----> the scale factor
x-----> the perimeter of the new triangle
y-----> the perimeter of the original triangle

we have

substitute

Part B) What is the value of the ratio (new to original) of the areas?
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z-----> the scale factor
x-----> the area of the new triangle
y-----> the area of the original triangle

we have

substitute


If theres 3.45 acres and the farmer only planted 0.4 the decimal or acre should be 3.40 acre possibly could be. hope this helps
