I need help finding the area of the garden and the area of the floor. so please give me in full explanation.

To find the area of the garden, we need to find the area of the entire shape. The shape is a rectangle with dimensions of 8m by 4m.

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width. In this case, the length is 8m and the width is 4m. So we can calculate the area of the garden by multiplying 8m by 4m:

Area of the garden = 8m * 4m = 32 square meters.

Now let's move on to finding the area of the floor. From the given diagram, we can see that the garden is raised on a platform which is also a rectangle. The dimensions of the platform are also 8m by 4m.

To find the area of the floor, we need to subtract the area of the garden from the area of the platform. Since the area of the garden is 32 square meters, we can calculate the area of the floor as:

Area of the floor = Area of the platform - Area of the garden

The area of the platform, which is also a rectangle with dimensions 8m by 4m, is:

Area of the platform = 8m * 4m = 32 square meters.

So, the area of the floor is:

Area of the floor = 32 square meters - 32 square meters = 0 square meters.

Therefore, the area of the floor in this scenario is zero because the entire surface beneath the garden is the platform itself.
