Answer:
60 square foot
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangular garden = 58 foot
Let x and y denote length and width of the rectangular garden.
2 (Length + Width) = Perimeter of the rectangular garden
So,
length = x
width = y =
The length is reduced by 7 feet and the width becomes half.
New length =
New width =
New perimeter = 34 foot
So,
New length
New width =
Area of the new smaller garden = New length × New Width
= 12 × 5
= 60 square foot
