Question

· Jim put a fence around a rectangular area. A scale drawing of the area

has a length of 3.5 inches and width of 2.5 inches. If the scale of the
drawing is 1 inch = 5 feet, what is the actual perimeter of the fenced
area?

Answer 1

Answer: 73 feet

Explanation:

1inch =5feet

L=3.5 inches W=2.5 inches

P= L1+L2+W1+W2

L=3.5(5) =17.5

W= 2.5(5) = 12.5

17.5+ 17.5 +12.5+ 12.5= 73 feet
