Question

Item 6

A square vegetable garden has side lengths of 9 feet. You plant flowers in the center portion of the garden, a square that has side lengths of 5 feet. You divide the remaining space into 4 equal sections and plant tomatoes, onions, zucchini, and peppers. What is the area of the tomato section?

Answer 1

14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out the entire area of the vegetable garden.

9 (the side length in feet for the entire garden) x 9 (the length of the side length in feet for the entire garden) = 81

Now, find the area of the flower part of the garden.

5 (the side length in feet for the flower part in the garden) x 5 (the side length in feet for the flower part in the garden) = 25

Then, subtract 25 from 81.

81-25 = 56

Lastly, divide 56 by 4.

56 divided by 4 (the onions, zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes) = 14.

If the question were to ask you about any other part of the garden, the answer would stay the same.

Hope this helped you out and if you have any more questions I'll be here! Have a good day/night!

Answer 2

`Tomato = 14ft^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dimension of Garden = 9ft by 9ft

Dimension of Flowers = 5ft by 5ft

Required

Determine the area of tomato section

First, we calculate the area (A) of the garden

`A = 9ft * 9ft`

`A = 81ft^2`

Next, we calculate the area (a) of the flower at the center

`a = 5ft * 5ft`

`a = 25ft^2`

Calculate the difference to get the area of the remaining portion

`Area = A - a`

`Area = 81ft^2 - 25ft^2`

`Area = 56ft^2`

Since the remaining portion is divided into 4 equal section.

The tomato section has an area of.

`Tomato = (Area)/(4)`

`Tomato = (56ft^2)/(4)`

`Tomato = 14ft^2`
