I could use some help! During the day, Lisa’s dog is tied by rope to a tree in the center of her yard. The scale drawing below shows the area that the dog has to run. If the actual length of the rope is 4 5/6 feet, what is the scale used in the drawing?

Explanation:

Considering Lisa's yard is allowing the dog to run around a circumscribed circle with a ray of 4 5/6 feet then the maximum of the area that he could cover is the area of that circle A= 3.14×(4 5/6)^2/2

Not being able to see the drawing, I assume that if the area of the yard has a value below the value described above then the dog would run around the yard untill the rope's fully swirled around the tree or untill Lisa comes home
