Answer: [tex]128\ ft^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the rectangular flower bed=[tex]2^4\ ft=2\times2\times2\times2=16\ ft[/tex]
The width of the rectangular flower bed=[tex]2^3\ ft=2\times2\times2=8\ ft[/tex]
We know that the area of rectangle is given by
Area = [tex]length\times width[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the flower bed= [tex]16\times8=128\ ft^2[/tex]
Thus, the area of the flower bed= [tex]128\ ft^2[/tex]
