Question

PLEASE HELPPP ASAP!!! I tried all sorts of equations but no correct answer! Not sure how to approach this problem.

Answer 1

120 square feet

Explanation:

(8+2*2)

(18+2*2) - 8*18 = 120 square feet.

Answer 2

`44`

Explanation:

The dimensions of the garden is 12 by 8. If we have a walkway that surrounds the garden, the dimensions of the walkway is 2. Since it surrounds the rectangle all sides add 2 to each of the dimensions so now the dimensions of the garden and walkway is 14×10.

The area of the garden is 96 square ft.

The area of the garden and walkway is 140 so let subtract the area of the garden from the total area of both the garden and walkway.

`140 - 96 = 44`

The area is 44.
