Question

tarush is a landscape architect. for his first public project he is asked to create 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 10 m and height 15 m. draw the garden such that 1 unit on the grid below represents 2 m.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the base length on the grid

Since 1 unit represents 2m, for a base of 10m, the number of units \(n_{base}=\frac{10}{2}=5\) units.

Step2: Calculate the height length on the grid

For a height of 15m, the number of units \(n_{height}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5\) units.

Answer:

Draw a right - triangle on the grid where the base is 5 units long and the height is 7.5 units long.
