This is a sketch plan of her garden.
2.5m
5.5m
greenhouse
2m
here
5.5m
2.5m
She will leave a 50cm space between the greenhouse and the edge of the garden.
She wants a scaled plan of the garden showing the position of the greenhouse.
Draw a scale plan. Put the scale you use on the plan.​

Answer 1

See attachment for drawing

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for sketch of plan

Required

Draw a scaled plan

From the question, the garden has the following dimensions.

5.5m, 5.5m, 4m and 2.5m

Using a scale of 1m : 50 cm units, the above measurements will be represented as:

`5.5m \to (5.5m)/(50cm) \to (5.5m)/(0.5m) \to 11cm`

`4m \to (4m)/(50cm) \to (4m)/(0.5m) \to 8cm`

`2.5m \to (2.5m)/(50cm) \to (2.5m)/(0.5m) \to 5cm`

From the question, we understand that there will be 50cm space between the greenhouse and the edge.

On the scale drawing, this will be represented as:

`50cm \to (50cm)/(50cm) \to 1cm`

From the question, the green house has the following dimensions.

2m, 2.5m

On the scale drawing, this will be represented as:

`2m \to (2m)/(50cm) \to (2m)/(0.5m) \to 4m`

`2.5m \to (2.5m)/(50cm) \to (2.5m)/(0.5m) \to 5m`
