Answer:

7 feet

Explanation:

Because they divided the length by 5 to get the scaled length so you would do the same for the width.

Answer:

26 inches squared

Explanation:

If the real length is 30 feet and the scale drawing is 6 inches its 5:1

So if the actual width is 35 feet the scale drawing will be 7 inches

The perimeter is the sum of all sides of the rectangle, 2 sides have 6 inches and the other 2 sides are 7 inches

6+6+7+7= 26
