Answer:
124 ft2
Step-by-step explanation:
The yard is a 12ft square so the length and width would both be 12ft. You multiply the length and width of the yard to get the area of the yard so 12x12=144. You have the length and width of the flower bed so 5x4=20. Once you have the area of both you can subtract the area the flower bed takes up of the lawn. 144-20=124 ft2.
A normal vector is the set of coefficients of x, y, and z when the equation is written in standard (or general) form.
Subtracting the left side, we have
... 2(8 -y) -z +5(x -2) = 0
... 16 -2y -z +5x -10 = 0
... 5x -2y -z +6 = 0 . . . . . general form
A normal vector is (5, -2, -1).
None of those are near 36 at all, so none of the above would be your answer.
