Given:
• Width of scale drawing = 4 inches
,• Length of scale drawing = 8 inches
,• Length of actual park = 320 yards
Let's find the perimeter of the actual park.
Let's first find the width of the actual park.
To find the width of the actual park, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ width of actual = }\frac{\text{ length of actual}}{\text{ length of scale}}*\text{ width of scale} \\ \\ \\ \text{ width of actual = }\frac{320}{8}*4 \\ \\ \text{ width of actual = 40 * 4 = 160 yards} \end{gathered}[/tex]The width of the actual park is 160 yards.
Now, to find the perimeter of the actual park, apply the formula do perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2(L + W)
Where:
P is the perimeter
L is the length = 320 yards
W is the width = 160 yards
Thus, we have:
P = 2(320 + 160)
P = 2(480)
P = 960 yards
Therefore, the perimeter of the actual park is 960 yards.
ANSWER:
960 yards
