Ryder drew a scale drawing of the rectangular pool in his backyard using a scale of 1 in = 2 ft. He wants to add a border around the perimeter of the pool using 12-in square tiles. If the length of the drawing of the pool is 6 in, and the width of the drawing is 5 in, how many tiles does Ryder need for the border?

ok so first we need to find the perimeter of the pool because of the 1in=2ft scale we get the the pool is 10ft by 12ft try finding the perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I do tht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the perimeter is the length of all the sides added up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 + 12=22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that gives us half the pool but a rectangle has 2 sides that are one lengths and 2 sides that are another length, try drawing it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
