Question

In a diagram of a landscape plan, the scale is 1 cm = 20 ft. In the diagram, the trees are 5.9 cm apart. How far apart should the trees actually be planted? (1 point) Responses 147 ft 147 ft 63 ft 63 ft 59 ft 59 ft 118 ft

Answer 1

The distance between the trees in the diagram is 5.9 cm.

Using the scale 1 cm = 20 ft, we can set up the following proportion:

1 cm / 20 ft = 5.9 cm / x ft

Cross multiplying, we get:

1 * x = 20 * 5.9
x = 118 ft

So, the trees should actually be planted 118 ft apart.
