Answer:

  Lanza is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two missing dimensions on the left are 4.5 m on the vertical line, and 5 m on the horizontal line.

These dimensions let us partition the garden a number of ways. One way is ...

• a rectangle 9 m by 4.5 m
• a rectangle 4 m by 3.5 m

The total of the areas of these is ...

  (9)(4.5) +4(3.5) = 40.5 +14 = 54.5 . . . . square meters

At £16 per square meter, Lanza's charge will be ...

  £16 × 54.5 = £872

Lanza is correct that she will have to charge more than £800.
