lets look at the model on the left first

but we want the right triangle

anonymous · Answer

Right

anonymous · Answer

The second triangle is you look at it is half the size of the first. 1cm = 7.5 ft....7.5 feet is half of 15

anonymous · Answer

In order to get the same triangle shaped garden we need 34cm = 255 ft

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is 34cm...just double 17cm
