PLEASE HELP QUICK!! Señor Ochoa is planting a garden in the corner of his yard. Before he does any planting, however, he wants to make a scale drawing showing where he wants each vegetable and fruit to go. So far, he has drawn the perimeter of his garden.
The actual length of the vertical and horizontal legs of his triangular garden is 3 meters.
6 cm
6 cm
8.5 cm
After making his drawing, he decides that his scale is way too small. Instead, he wants the vertical and horizontal legs of
the triangle on his drawing to be 18 centimeters. Make a new scale drawing with the new dimensions of the scale
drawing. Make sure to label all three sides of the garden and include the new scale.

y=x+9

?

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240

what is the answer to this
