Answer :

MrRoyal

In drawings, a rectangular shape can be enlarged or compressed using scale ratios

The perimeter of the drawing

The dimensions of the drawing are 4 in by 5 in

So, the perimeter is:

P = 2 * (4 in + 5 in)

This gives

P = 18 in

Hence, the perimeter of the drawing is 18 inches

The perimeter of the actual flower bed

The dimensions of the actual flower bed is 30 times greater than the drawing.

So, the perimeter is:

P = (30 + 1) * 18 in

This gives

P = 558 in

Hence, the perimeter of the actual flower bed is 558 inches

The effect on the perimeter

When the dimensions are multiplied by 24, the perimeter of the flower bed increases by a product of 24
