In order to find the Area of a rectangle you need to just multiply the length by the width. Don't be confused due to the squared symbol.

For the original garden the area was 130m^2

For the new rectangle we will need to work backwards, so therefore, when the rectangles area is 208m^2, sides will have to be both 8 and 26
