Question

Thrush us a landscape architect. For his first public project he is asked a small scale drawing of a garden to be placed in the corner of a city park. The garden is a right triangle with base 10m and height 15m.

Answer 1

Therefore, on the graph;

The height = 7.5 units

And base = 5.0 units

Attached is an image for further information;

Explanation:

Given that;

1 unit on the grid represent 2m of the garden;

Ratio = 1/2 unit/m

For the height;

height h = 15m

On the graph;

h = 15m × 1/2 unit/m

h = 7.5 units

For the base;

Base b = 10m

On the graph;

b = 10m × 1/2 unit/m

b = 5 units

Therefore, on the graph;

The height = 7.5 units

And base = 5.0 units
