Mariah is planting a rectangular rose garden. In the center of the garden, she puts a smaller retangular patch of grass. The grass is 2 ft by 3 ft. What is 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.
To find the area of the rose garden, we need to determine the dimensions of the garden itself. We know that there is a smaller rectangular patch of grass in the center of the garden that measures 2 ft by 3 ft.
Let's assume that the length of the garden is L ft and the width of the garden is W ft.
Since the patch of grass is in the center, it would be the same width and same length as the garden, meaning the length and width of the garden would be 2 feet longer than the patch of grass. Therefore, we have:
Length of the garden = Length of the patch of grass + 2 ft
Width of the garden = Width of the patch of grass + 2 ft
Substituting the known values, we get:
L = 2 ft + 2 ft = 4 ft
W = 3 ft + 2 ft = 5 ft
Now, we can calculate the area of the rose garden by multiplying the length and width:
Area of the rose garden = Length × Width
= L × W
= 4 ft × 5 ft
= 20 square feet
Therefore, the area of the rose garden is 20 square feet.
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.
