Wendell is designing the layout of the backyard behind his new home. He wants to build a dog house and add some flower gardens. In the following tasks, you will help Wendell create a scale drawing of his backyard to help him plan the location and size of the dog house and gardens. The provided sketch is not drawn to scale, but it does give the actual dimensions of the lawn in feet. The backyard is a trapezoid—the west side is perpendicular to both the north and south sides, and the deck is a rectangle. Part A
If Wendell creates a scale drawing using the scale 1 inch to 10 feet, what will the dimensions of the deck in the scale drawing be?

Part B
In the scale drawing, what will the length of the east side of the backyard be?

Part C
In the scale drawing, what will the length of the south side of the backyard be?

Part D
In the scale drawing, what will the length of the west side of the backyard be?

Part E
In the scale drawing, what will the length of the north side of the backyard be?

Part F
Two corners of the backyard are right angles. The third corner forms an obtuse angle measuring 127º. The fourth corner forms an acute angle measuring 53º. When transferring these angle measurements from the real world to the scale drawing, will their measures increase, decrease, or stay the same?

Part G
In the scale drawing, what is the area of the lawn (that is, the area of the whole backyard, except for the deck)?
