Tyler’s Flag Problem: Tyler has designed his own flag on a rectangle that is 3 inches tall and 6 inches wide. Now he wants to draw a larger version of his flag on a rectangle that is 9 inches tall. How wide should Tyler make his larger flag? Solve this problem in two ways: with the scale factor method and with the internal factor method. In each case:
- Explain clearly the idea and the reasoning of that method.

- Edging a Planter A woman wants to make a small planter and surround it with edging material. She is deciding between two designs. Design 1: A square planter Design 2: A circular planter Edging material costs 3 a foot for the straight variety, which she would use for design 1 and 4 a foot for the flexible variety, which she would use for design 2. a If she decides on a perimeter of 24 ft, which design would give her the larger planting area? b If she decides to spend 120 on edging material, which design would give her the larger planting area?arrow_forwardThe Turners want to install outdoor carpet around their rectangular pool. The dimensions for the rectangular area formed by the pool and its walkway are 20 ft by 30 ft.

- A city designer wanted to create a model replica of a city. In the city, the perimeter of the library was 300 ft and the area was 20,000 ft2. If the city designer used a scale factor of 1100, what is the area and perimeter of the library in the model?arrow_forwardA landscaper wants to install a border around a small rectangular lap pool. The pool measures 12 feet 8 inches long by 8 feet 6 inches wide. He wants the border to be 1 foot wide, as shown in the diagram below: In order to make the border, the landscaper decides to crush recycled tile and then lay the pieces down in a mosaic. If each tile will cover 4 2 3 square feet, how many tiles will the landscaper need to complete the border? Keep in mind that the landscaper can ONLY buy whole tiles (i.e., he cannot purchase a fraction of a tile). a. 5 b. 10 c. 24 d. 33arrow_forwardA landscaper wants to install a border around a small rectangular lap pool.

The dimensions of Romina’s rectangular garden are 2 feet by 3 feet. The dimensions of Santiago’s garden are all quadrupled. a. Find the perimeter and area of each garden. b. Find the scale factor between the perimeters of each garden. c. Find the scale factor between the areas of each garden. d. In general, how are the scale factors of perimeters and areas of scaled objects related?arrow_forwardA tinsmith wants to make a small windowsill planter from a 40cm×16cm40cm×16cm sheet of copper. She’ll form it by cutting equally sized squares from each of the four corners of the sheet, folding up the resulting flaps to form the sides of the planter, and then soldering the four vertical edges. If she wants the ratio of the planter’s width to height to be 66, what will be the ratio of its lengtharrow_forward
