Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram to the question attached.
From the diagram, we are given the following dimension for one of the beds;
Length = 16cm
Width = 8cm
If the scale from his drawing to the actual garden is 2 cm for every 1 ft, then on converting to feet;
2cm = 1ft
16cm = x fr
cross multiply
2x = 16
x = 8ft
Hence 16cm = 8ft (based on the scale)
Similarly:
2cm = 1ft
8cm = x fr
cross multiply
2x = 8
x = 4ft
Area of the garden bed (in feet) = Length * Width
Area of the garden bed = 8ft * 4ft
Area of the garden bed = 32ft²
Hence the actual area of one of the garden beds is 32ft². We need to find 2 things fir us to get the required answer. First is the length of the bed in feet and the second is the width of the bed in feet.
