Question

Yara have two rectangular gardens in her backyard the smaller garden is 1/2 foot long and 2/3 foot wide the larger Garden is 4 feet long and 5 feet wide what is the area of the small garden in square feet what is the area of the large garden in square feet

Answer 1

Given that :

Area of a rectangle is : A = l×b

For smaller garden,

Length, l = $\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{foot}$

Width, $b=\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{foot}$

Area of a smaller garden is :

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\A=0.34\ \text{foot}^2$

For larger garden,

length, l' = 4 feet

Width, b' = 5 feet

Area of a larger garden is :

$A'=l'\times b'\\\\A'=4\times 5\\\\A'=20\ \text{feet}^2$

So, the area of a smaller garden is 0.34 sq ft and that of a larger garden is 20 sq ft.
