Barry wants to make a drawing that is 1/4 the size of the original. if a tree in the original drawing is 14 inches tall and 5 inches wide, what will be the length and width of the tree in barry's drawing?

lenght: 3.5 inches.

width: 1.25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following information:

- The drawing must be 1/4  the size of the original drawing.

- The tree in the original drawing is 14 inches tall and 5 inches wide.

Therefore, keeping the above on mind, you can find the length and width of the tree in Barry's drawing by multiplying the original dimensions by 1/4.

Then, you obtain the result shown below:

(5x-1)^2= (5x)^2-2(5x)×1+(1)^2=25x^2-10x+1
