A rectangular garden has dimensions of 100 feet by 10 feet. Next season, the garden is decreased to 2/5 of its size. What is the scale of the drawing for the new garden shown below?

Sagot :

40 feet by 4 feet

Given length (l) = 100 feet

width (w) = 10 feet

As mentioned in the question the size of garden is decreased to 2/5 of its size. It will effect the length and width with the same proportion.

So,

New length = 100 * 2/5 = 40 feet

New width  = 10 * 2/5 = 4 feet

Therefore, the scale of new drawing would be 40 feet by 4 feet

The scale of new drawing would be 40 feet by 4 feet
