Answer 1

The garden is a composite figure, and the area of the garden is 105.5 square feet

How to determine the area?

The garden is given as an attachment.

From the attached picture, we have the following figures:

• Rectangle: 5 ft by 10 ft
• Trapezoid: Parallel sides = 15 ft and (27 - 5) ft, Height = (10 - 7) ft

The area of the garden is:

Area = Area of rectangle + Area of trapezoid

So, we have:

Area = 5 * 10 + 0.5 * (15 + 27 - 5) * (10 - 7)

Evaluate

Area = 105.5

Hence, the area of the garden is 105.5 square feet
