Question

you are making a scale model of a rectangular park for a school project. your model has a length of 2 feet and a width of 1.4 feet. the actual park is 800 yards long. what are the perimeter and area of the actual park?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the park is 2,720, I divided 800 into 2 and got 400, which I multiplied by 1.4, I later got 560. I multiply 800 and 560 both by 2 and added it to get 2,720. For the second part of the question, I multiplied 800 by 560, which gave me 448,000.
