Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the garden is 17 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's divide the garden into 2 parts. The small part to the left of the patio let's call it area A. This area has 1 yd of width and 2 yd of length as it has the same length as the patio.

Therefore area A has an area of 1*2=2 yd

Let's call the remaining area area B.

We can see that its length is 3 yd and its width is 5 yd so:

3*5=15

Summing both areas to obtain the area of the garden we get

15+2=17
