To find the area covered by the pebbles, we need to subtract the area of the garden from the area of the garden plus the path.
The area of the garden is length times width, or 12 meters times 9 meters, which equals 108 square meters.
The area of the garden plus the path is the length of the garden plus twice the width of the path, times the width of the garden plus twice the width of the path.
So, the length of the garden plus the path is 12 + 2(1) = 14 meters, and the width of the garden plus the path is 9 + 2(1) = 11 meters.
Therefore, the area of the garden plus the path is 14 meters times 11 meters, which equals 154 square meters.
Finally, we need to subtract the area of the garden from the area of the garden plus the path:
154 square meters - 108 square meters = 46 square meters
Therefore, the area covered by the pebbles is 46 square meters.
