Question

1. a rectangular garden is 15 ft × 10 ft. draw at 1 in = 5 ft.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the length on the drawing

The actual length is \(15\) ft. Given the scale \(1\) in \( = 5\) ft. Let \(x\) be the length on the drawing. Using the proportion \(\frac{\text{scale length}}{\text{actual length}}=\frac{1}{5}\), so \(x=\frac{15}{5}=3\) in.

Step2: Calculate the width on the drawing

The actual width is \(10\) ft. Let \(y\) be the width on the drawing. Using the proportion \(\frac{\text{scale length}}{\text{actual length}}=\frac{1}{5}\), so \(y = \frac{10}{5}=2\) in.

Answer:

Draw a rectangle with length \(3\) inches and width \(2\) inches.
