Question

Jim’s backyard is rectangular with dimensions of 80 feet by 120 feet. He is planning to designate part of the yard to plant a vegetable garden. The garden will be a similar rectangle, using a scale factor of 3/4. How much fencing will he need if he wants to enclose the garden on all four sides?
How many feet does he need?

Answer 1

Solution: 5,400 feet^2
Step by step solution:
3/4=0.75
(80*0.75)(120*0.75)
(60)(90)
5400
