Answer 1

The correct formulas for the irregular shape of this garden are :
Square: A = a2(squared) A = 3ft x 3ft = 9ft
Rectangle: A = L x W A = 8ft x 3ft = 24ft
Triangle: 1/2 x Base x Height A = 1/2 x 8ft x 3ft = 12ft

Now add the areas of the different shapes together: 24ft + 12ft + 9ft = 45ft

The CORRECT answer is 45 square feet

Answer 2

To find the total area of the garden, we first need to determine the shape and how to calculate its area based on the given dimensions.

The dimensions provided are: 6 ft, 3 ft, 3 ft, 5 ft, and 3 ft.

It seems that the garden can be divided into sections or combined into one overall shape. For clarity, let’s visualize it as a rectangle with the given dimensions:

1. **Assuming the largest rectangle can be 6 ft by 3 ft**:
- Area = length × width = 6 ft × 3 ft = 18 square feet.

2. **Assuming the next rectangle can be 5 ft by 3 ft**:
- Area = 5 ft × 3 ft = 15 square feet.

Now, adding both areas together:
- Total Area = 18 sq ft + 15 sq ft = 33 sq ft.

Therefore, the total area of the garden is **33 square feet**.

So, the correct response is:
**33 square feet**.
