The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B.

Gabriel's father has a garden in the back yard. The dimensions of the garden are shown here.

A green rectangle is shown. The width is labeled as 2 and two-thirds feet. The length is labeled as 7 and three-fourths feet.

Part A
Calculate the area of the garden. Show at least one step before you show your solution.

1 answer

To find the area of the garden, we need to multiply the length and width of the rectangle.

Length = 7 and three-fourths feet = 7.75 feet

Width = 2 and two-thirds feet = 2.67 feet

Area = Length x Width

Area = 7.75 feet x 2.67 feet

Area = 20.6925 square feet (rounded to four decimal places)

Therefore, the area of the garden is approximately 20.6925 square feet.
