Lena’s family is planning a retailer garden. They make a scale diagram of the girl using a scale of 1 inch to 0.5 m. If the length of the scale diagram is 24 inches, and it’s with is 16 inches, what is the perimeter of the actual garden?

Answer :

Answer: 40 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Convert the the inches of the scale to the meters of the real garden

1 in = .5 m

16 in * .5 = 12

24 in * .5 = 8

Step 2: Use the perimeter (P = 2L+ 2W) equation to solve.

W= 12 m

L = 8 m

P = 2(8) + 2(12)

P = 16 + 24

P = 40 m
