Question

The perimeter of the patio is 32m. the garden itself is a square shape. what is the total area of the garden and the patio?

Answer 1

64 32 divided by 4 is 8 8 tmes 8 is 64

Answer 2

Explanation:

The perimeter of the patio is 32m

Lets say the side length including the garden and patio is x m

so its perimeter in terms of x is 4x

we get the equation 4x=32

hence x=32/4

x=8 m

Means the sides are of 8 m

Now

Area is given by

`A=x^2`

so

`A =8^2`

Area =64 sq meter
