He can do that if the garden is square.

It is indeed possible to calculate the area of a garden if you know the length of only one side. The key lies in understanding the relationship between the sides of a garden, specifically when it has a regular shape.

Let's consider a rectangle as an example. A rectangle has two sets of parallel sides, and opposite sides are equal in length. So if we know the length of one side, we can assume that the opposite side will also have the same length.

To calculate the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length of one side (let's call it "l") by the length of the other side (let's call it "w"). Since opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, we can replace "w" with "l" to simplify the calculation.

So, the formula for the area of a rectangle is:

Area = length (l) * width (w)

But in this case, we have:

Area = length (l) * length (l)

Or simply:

Area = l^2 (l squared)

This means that if Aiden knows the length of just one side of his rectangular garden, he can square that length to find the area.

Note: This explanation assumes that the garden is a rectangle. If the garden has a different shape, the process of finding the area may vary.
