Question

Lana's family is planning a rectangular garden. They make a scale diagram of the garden using a scale of 1 inch to 0.5 meter. If the length of the scale diagram is 24 inches, and its width is 16 inches, what is the perimeter of the actual garden? Please help me with this question.

Answer 1

So, when you find a perimeter, you add length+length+width+width= perimeter.So in your case, it would be 24 x 2 since there are 2 sides, and 16 x 2, then add the results. 48 + 32 = 80 inches. then convert to meters.

Answer 2

The perimeter of the actual garden will be 40 meters.

What is perimeter?

The perimeter of the rectangle is defined as the sum of the all the sides of the triangle.

The perimeter of the rectangle is given as:

$P=2(L+W)$

The length is given =24 inches

The width is given=16 inches

So the perimeter will be = $2(24+16)=80 \ inches$

using a scale of 1 inch to 0.5 meters

$80\ inches =0.5\times 80=40\ meters$

Hence the perimeter of the actual garden will be 40 meters.
