Melody is planning a raised bed for her vegetable garden.

Question

How many square feet of wood does she need to create the bed?
Hint: There is no bottom on the bed

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of wood needed for the raised bed, you need to know the dimensions of the bed. Let's say Melody wants to create a raised bed that is 8 feet long and 4 feet wide.

To calculate the area of the bed, you need to multiply the length by the width:

8 feet x 4 feet = 32 square feet

So Melody would need 32 square feet of wood to create the raised bed.
