Carmen hired a landscaper to design a small garden at teh side of her house. the garden will measure 2 m by 3 m andn it will contrain a mixture of perennial plants. the landscaper wants to draw a scale diagram of Carmen's garden on a peice of paper that measures 30 cm by 50 cm.
a) determine a suitable scale for the scale diagram so that it will fit on a piece of paper
b) according to the landscaper, five perennial plants can be planted in each sqaure metre (1m squared) of the garden. if each perennial costs $2.50, what will be the total cost of all the perennials needed to fill the garden?
Help Me Pleaseeeeee!?
her garden is 200cm * 300cm
the paper is 30cm by 50cm
so 1/6th scale will fit (divide 300/50 = 6,divide 200/30 = 6 (and a bit))
------
area = 2m * 3m = 6sq/m
6sq/m * 5plants per m = 30 plants
30 * 2.50 = $75
