Melody is planning a raised bed for her vegetable garden.
How many square feet of wood does she need to create the bed?
Hint: There is no bottom on the bed
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.
