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) Responses 216 ft.2 216 ft. squared 412 ft.2 412 ft. squared 432 ft.2 432 ft. squared 206 ft.2

Answer 1

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

Total area of the garden = length x width = 24 ft x 18 ft = 432 ft^2

Area taken up by the shed = length x width = 5 ft x 4 ft = 20 ft^2

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

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