Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image attached we can see that the width of the garden is 6 ft. The length of the garden is the slanting side of the triangle (hypotenuse).
Let x be the length of the garden. The height of the triangle = 40 ft - 15 ft = 25 ft.
The base of the triangle = 80 ft - 75 ft = 5 ft.
The length of the garden is gotten using Pythagoras:
x² = 25² + 5²
x² = 650
x = 25.5 ft.
The area of the garden = length * width = 25.5 * 6 = 153 ft²
Hence the approximate area = 160 ft²
