A rectangular garden has dimensions 24 ft.×18 ft. In the corner of the garden, there is a shed whose base measures 5 ft.×4 ft. What is the plantable area of the garden?(1 point)
To find the plantable area of the garden, we need to subtract the area taken up by the shed from the total area of the garden.
Total area of the garden = length × width
Total area of the garden = 24 ft × 18 ft = 432 sq ft
Area of the shed = length × width
Area of the shed = 5 ft × 4 ft = 20 sq ft
Plantable area of the garden = Total area of the garden - Area of the shed
Plantable area of the garden = 432 sq ft - 20 sq ft = 412 sq ft
Therefore, the plantable area of the garden is 412 sq ft.
