Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC,

(Hypotenuse)²= (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = (40 - 15)² + (80 - 75)²

AC² = (25)² + 5²

AC² = 650

AC = √650

AC = 25.495 ft

Since, area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Therefore, area of the garden = 25.495 × 6

= 152.97

≈ 153 ft²

Since, 150 is very close to 153, approximate area of the rectangular garden is 150 ft².

Option D is the answer.
