The new side lengths of the lawn would be: 2.5 inches, 0.75 inch, 1 inch and 1.5 inches.

Scale drawing involves changing the size of a figure by dilating the figure.

There are two types of dilation

From the complete question, the dimensions of the lawn are:

10 yards, 3 yards, 4 yards, and 6 yards

Given that the scale factor is 1 inch to 1/4 yard

The new dimensions of the lawn would be:

2.5 inches, 0.75 inch, 1 inch and 1.5 inches.

This is gotten by multiplying the original dimensions by the scale factor (1/4)
