a) The area of the patio can be calculated by multiplying the length and width of the patio:
Area of patio = 14.4 m x 5.6 m = 80.64 square meters
b) To find the total area of the patio and gardens, we need to add the area of the patio to the area of the two garden areas:
Total area = Area of patio + 2(Area of garden)
Total area = 80.64 + 2(66)
Total area = 212.64 square meters
c) To find the area of the gardens, we need to subtract the area of the patio from the total area:
Area of gardens = Total area - Area of patio
Area of gardens = 212.64 - 80.64
Area of gardens = 132 square meters
