Answer 1

The plantable area of the garden is the total area of the garden minus the area taken up by the shed.

Total area of the garden = 24 ft x 18 ft = 432 ft^2
Area taken up by the shed = 5 ft x 4 ft = 20 ft^2

Plantable area = Total area - Area taken up by the shed
Plantable area = 432 ft^2 - 20 ft^2
Plantable area = 412 ft^2

Therefore, the plantable area of the garden is 412 ft^2.

The answer is:
412 ft.2
412 ft. squared
