Answer:

9 ft^2 and 12.25 ft^2

Explanation:

We need to figure out the area for a square with a perimeter of 12 feet and 14 feet.

A square has four sides that are all equal in length, therefore:

12/4 = 3

14/4 = 3.5

3 and 3.5 are the individual side lengths of the garden, so to find the area, we just multiply those numbers by themselves (since it is a square garden).

3*3 = 9

3.5*3.5 = 12.25

Therefore, the answer is 9 ft^2 and 12.25 ft^2
