C^2 = a^2 + b^2
26^2 = 10^2 + b^2
676 = 100 + b^2
576 = b^2
shortest side length = 24 units

Answer:

$1,500\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L ----> the length of the rectangular garden in feet

w ---> the width of the rectangular garden in feet

step 1

Find the width

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular garden is

$P=2(L+W)$

$P=170\ ft$

so

$170=2(L+W)$

Simplify

$85=(L+W)$ ----> equation A

$L=2W+10$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for W

$85=(2W+10+W)$

$85-10=3W$

$3W=75$

$W=25\ ft$

Find the value of L

$L=2(25)+10=60\ ft$

step 2

Find the area

we know that

The area of the rectangular garden is

$A=(LW)$

substitute the values

$A=(60)(25)=1,500\ ft^2$
