The length was originally 6 feet while the new area is 36 feet^2.

Area of a square

A square it is quadrilateral hence it has four sides. We have the new area of the square garden as 25 and given by  (x - 1)^2 = 25.

Hence;

(x - 1)^2 = 25

(x - 1) = √25

(x - 1) = 5

x = 5 + 1 = 6 feet

So, the new area of the garden = 6^2 = 36 feet^2
