[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The current area of the garden is 7 feet x 6 feet = 42 ft².

To attain the desired area of 108 ft², the new dimensions of the garden can be calculated using the formula:

new length x new width = desired area
let new length = x
x x 6 = 108
x = 108 / 6
x = 18

So, the new length of the garden should be 18 feet.

To calculate how much farther John needs to extend the length, we subtract the current length from the new length:

18 ft - 7 ft = 11 ft

John will need to extend the garden by an additional 11 feet to attain his desired area of 108 ft².
