a. 20 meters
b. 50 meters
c. 25 meters
d. 40 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scale - factor formula

The formula for scaled - length is $Scaled\ length=Original\ length\times Scale\ factor$.

Step2: Identify original length and scale factor

The original length of the garden is 400 meters and the scale factor is 0.1.

Step3: Calculate the scaled - length

$Scaled\ length = 400\times0.1=40$ meters.

Answer:

d. 40 meters
