Question

What is the perimeter of the actual garden?

Answer 1

Answer: 576 inches or 48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion where $\frac{drawing AB}{actual AB} =\frac{drawing perimeter}{actual perimeter}$

so you get drawingAB = 24 in

actualAB = 18 feet = 18 * 12 in = 216 in

drawing perimeter = 64 in

so plug these in to get$\frac{24}{216} =\frac{64}{actual perimeter}$

rearrange to get $actual perimeter = \frac{216 * 64}{24}$

and solve to get 576 inches or 576/12 = 48 feet
