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.
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.
