Answer:

34 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the other side of the garden in order to find the area a=l*w

The formula to find the length is, p-w*2=x x÷2=l

because, perimeter is l+l+w+w and area is just l*w

4.25*2=8.50

24.50-8.50=16

16÷2=8

l=8

So now we need to multiply the length and width to get the area.

8*4.25=34 sq. ft.

I hope that helps!
