Answer:

the total area of the enlarged garden is 324 square feet

Explanation:

Lisa square garden has an area of 64 square feet. The formula for determining the area of a square is expressed as

Area = Length²

Length = √Area

Therefore, Length of each side of Lisa's garden is

√64 = 8 feet.

Lisa increases each side of her square garden by 5 feet. It means that the length of each side of the enlarged garden is 8 + 5 + 5 = 18 feet

Therefore, the total area of the enlarged garden would be

18² = 324 square feet
