At = Ag + Arg.
At = 6 + Arg,
We need to know the dimensions of the area surrounding the rose garden. Then we could calculate At, the total area which leaves only one unknown(Arg), the area of the rose garden.
The area is the rose garden is 8ft by 11ft
I'm not positive what the answer is but i'm pretty sure its 88.
