Question

Yara have two rectangular gardens in her backyard the smaller garden is 1/2 foot long and 2/3 foot wide the larger Garden is 4 feet long and 5 feet wide what is the area of the small garden in square feet what is the area of the large garden in square feet

Answer 1

Given that :

Area of a rectangle is : A = l×b

For smaller garden,

Length, l =
`(1)/(2)\ \text{foot}`

Width,
`b=(2)/(3)\ \text{foot}`

Area of a smaller garden is :

`A=(1)/(2)* (2)/(3)\\\\A=0.34\ \text{foot}^2`

For larger garden,

length, l' = 4 feet

Width, b' = 5 feet

Area of a larger garden is :

`A'=l'* b'\\\\A'=4* 5\\\\A'=20\ \text{feet}^2`

So, the area of a smaller garden is 0.34 sq ft and that of a larger garden is 20 sq ft.
