Answer:

x² + 11x + 28

Explanation:

Length = 4 feet

Width = 7 feet

If it is increased by x feet

Length = 4 + x feet

Width = 7 + x feet

Area of the garden = length × width

= (7+x) × (4+x)

= 28 + 7x + 4x + x²

= x² + 11x + 28

The expression that could be used to calculate the area of the garden = x² + 11x + 28
