Final answer:
The question appears to have a typographical error with inconsistent units. Without knowing the exact figures, we cannot give an exact answer, but the process involves dividing the area of the rectangle by the length of the known side to find the remaining side, assuming all units are consistent.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of the other side of a rectangular garden where the area is 9 foot2 minus 64, and one side is 3 foot minus 8, you should use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is the product of its length and width. In algebraic terms, if the area (A) equals length (l) times width (w), and one of those, say width (w), is given, you solve for the length (l) by dividing the area (A) by the width (w).
Here, the '3 foot minus 8' is an apparent typo, but if we interpret it as '3 foot - 8 inches', we'd need to convert everything to a consistent unit, for example, feet. However, the expression as it stands also seems inconsistent, as the area '9 foot2 minus 64' implies square units subtracting a non-square unit. This seems like a typographical error as well.
Assuming that the proper dimensions are meant to be coherent (e.g., 3 feet and 9 square feet, or 3 feet as some side, and 64 square feet as the other component of the area expression), one could proceed as follows:
Let's denote the unknown side as 'x'. Then we have:
- Convert '3 foot minus 8' to a single consistent unit, if not a typographical error.
- Divide the coherent area expression by the side length in feet to find 'x'.
- State x in proper units as the length of the other side.
