The length and the width of the outside edge of the garden will be ( 6x + 12 ) and ( 9x + 6 ) respectively.
What is the scale factor?
In mathematics, a scale factor is the proportion of related dimensions of an object to a description of that object.
Given that:-
- The outside edges of the walkway form a rectangle whose length and width are proportional to the sides of the garden, increased by a scale factor of 3. the sides of the garden are (2x+4) and (3x+2)
The length and width of the outside edge will be:-
The sides are Dilated by factor 3 so the edges of the rectangle will be calculated as;-
Length = 3 ( 2x+4 ) = 6x + 12
Width = 3 ( 3x+2 ) = 9x + 6
Therefore the length and the width of the outside edge of the garden will be ( 6x + 12 ) and ( 9x + 6 ) respectively.
