*check figure 1 for the diagram of the garden

Answer:

2,400 cm²

Explanation:

The area of the garden has been decomposed into 3 rectangles, rectangles 1, 2, and 3 (see figure 2 in the attachment below).

To find the area of the garden, calculate the area of each of the 3 rectangles and sum them together.

Thus:

Rectangle 1:

Area = length × width = 20 × 20 = 400 cm²

Rectangle 2:

Area = length × width = 60 × 10 = 600 cm²

Rectangle 3:

Area = length × width = 70 × 20 = 1,400 cm²

✔️Area of the garden = 400 + 600 + 1,400 = 2,400 cm²
