To find how far apart the actual flowers should be planted, we need to convert the distance in the diagram to actual distance in feet.
Since the scale is 1 cm = 10 ft, we can set up the following ratio:
1 cm / 10 ft = 3.9 cm / x ft
Cross multiplying, we get:
1 * x = 10 * 3.9
x = 39
Therefore, the actual flowers should be planted 39 feet apart. So the correct answer is 39 ft.
