In a diagram of a landscape plan, the scale is 1cm =10ft . In the diagram, the trees are 3.9 centimeters apart. How far apart should the actual trees be planted?

Answer 1

To find out how far apart the trees should be planted in actual distance, we can use the scale provided in the landscape plan.

Since 1cm on the diagram represents 10ft in actual distance, we can set up a proportion to find the actual distance between the trees.

1cm = 10ft
3.9cm = x

Cross multiplying, we get:
1 * x = 3.9 * 10
x = 39ft

Therefore, the trees should be planted 39 feet apart in actual distance.
