Question

Q9 A gardener wants to build this greenhouse in the top right hand corner of her garden.

Answer 1

Answer:

See attachment for drawing

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for sketch of plan

Required

Draw a scaled plan

From the question, the garden has the following dimensions.

5.5m, 5.5m, 4m and 2.5m

Using a scale of 1m : 50 cm units, the above measurements will be represented as:

$5.5m \to \frac{5.5m}{50cm} \to \frac{5.5m}{0.5m} \to 11cm$

$4m \to \frac{4m}{50cm} \to \frac{4m}{0.5m} \to 8cm$

$2.5m \to \frac{2.5m}{50cm} \to \frac{2.5m}{0.5m} \to 5cm$

From the question, we understand that there will be 50cm space between the greenhouse and the edge.

On the scale drawing, this will be represented as:

$50cm \to \frac{50cm}{50cm} \to 1cm$

From the question, the green house has the following dimensions.

2m, 2.5m

On the scale drawing, this will be represented as:

$2m \to \frac{2m}{50cm} \to \frac{2m}{0.5m} \to 4m$

$2.5m \to \frac{2.5m}{50cm} \to \frac{2.5m}{0.5m} \to 5m$
