Answer:
43 ft squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the garden into two pieces (horizontally).
You then have a part of the garden that measures 9 ft by 3 ft. To find the area of this part, multiply these two numbers together: 9 ft * 3 ft = 27 ft squared.
For your other part of the garden, you only know one measure. To find the other measure, do 7-3, which is 4. The measurements of this part of the garden is 4 ft by 4 ft. Again, multiply these numbers together: 4 ft * 4 ft = 16 ft squared.
Add both areas together: 27 + 16 = 43.
