Landscape artists frequently hand-draw their landscape layouts (blueprints) because this allows them more creativity and precision over their plans. Although done by hand, the layouts must be extremely accurate in terms of angles and distances.

a. A landscape artist has drawn the outline of a house. Describe three different ways to make sure the corners of the house are right angles.
b. A bench needs to be placed in the exact middle of two trees. Describe three different methods the designer can use to find out where to place the bench.
c. The landscape designer has drawn an angle on one side of the yard and wants to draw the same angle on the other side. Describe three different ways he can do this.

The first person holds the zero mark between their thumbs and fingers, the second person holds the 3m mark on the tape between their thumbs and fingers, and the third person holds the 8m. When all sides of the rope are stretched, a triangle is created, and an angle near one is a right angle.

Wrap one loop of the rope around peg A with a peg through the other loop, draw a circle on the ground, place pegs B and C where the circle crosses the base line, and place peg D half way between pegs B and C, allowing pegs D and A to form lines perpendicular to the base line, forming a right angle.

B. Method 1; Take a measurement of the distance between both trees and divide by 2 to get the midpoint.

Method 2; By use of a compass to bisect the distance between both points.

Method 3; By using a protractor to mark the 90° vertical point when placed between the two endpoints.

C The three different ways he can do this.

1) by using a protractor

2) by finding a point

3) by extending the line of the angle until it reaches the other side of the field.
