Answer 1

see attached

Explanation:

You want a scale drawing of a patio with an area of 120 square feet and a length of 12 feet using a scale of 2 feet per unit.

Drawing

The width of the patio is the ratio of area to length:

(120 ft²)/(12 ft) = 10 ft

At 2 ft per unit, the numbers of units are ...

• 12 ft ÷ 2 ft/unit = 6 units
• 10 ft ÷ 2 ft/unit = 5 units

The drawing will show the patio as a rectangle 6 units by 5 units, as in the attachment.
