A rectangular garden has dimensions 24 ft.×18 ft. In the corner of the garden, there is a shed whose base measures 5 ft.×4 ft. What is the plantable area of the garden?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the plantable area of the garden, we need to subtract the area taken up by the shed from the total area of the garden.

Total area of the garden = length × width
Total area of the garden = 24 ft × 18 ft = 432 sq ft

Area of the shed = length × width
Area of the shed = 5 ft × 4 ft = 20 sq ft

Plantable area of the garden = Total area of the garden - Area of the shed
Plantable area of the garden = 432 sq ft - 20 sq ft = 412 sq ft

Therefore, the plantable area of the garden is 412 sq ft.
