Complete question :
A landscaper drew a scale drawing of a rectangular yard using the scale, , before beginning to work on the yard.
(a) The landscaper plans to put a fence around the entire yard. How many meters of fencing does she need? Show your work.
(b) The landscaper plans to create a rectangular garden that is the size of the actual yard. What is the area of the garden?
Answer:
28cm ; 48cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram :
Length = 8cm
Width = 6cm
Meters of fencing required :
Perimeter of rectangle :
P = 2(length + Width)
P = 2 (8cm + 6cm)
P= 2(14cm)
P = 28 cm
2.)
Area of rectangle :
Length * width
8cm * 6cm
= 48cm²
Answer:
2 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use trigonometry for this. The appropriate one would be tangent, which is (opposite side) divided by (adjacent side).
In this case, the opposite side of angle A is BC, which is 6 meters. The adjacent side of angle A is AB, which is the ground. Since we don't know its length, we call it x.
Now, we write:
= 6/x
To solve, we just multiply both sides by tan(x) and x:
x = 6/[tan(72)] ≈ 1.95 meters ≈ 2 meters.
Thus, the answer is 2 meters.
Hope this helps!
