312 is the area
Hope this helps

Answer 2

Area of the garden is
`306feet^2`

Explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of the garden=84 feet

Let the width of the garden be 'W'

Length of the garden is 24 feet longer than the width of it

so, length of the garden= W+24 feet

To find the width 'W'

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2(Length+Width)

`84 =2(W+24+W)\\ 84 =4W+48\\ 84-48=4W\\ 4W=36\\ W=9` feet

Width=9 feet

Length=W+24= 9+24= 34 feet

Area of the garden= Length*width

`=34*9\\ =306 feet^2`

Area of the garden is 306 square feet
