Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Chad's original garden is 3 ft x 8 ft.

original area = 3 x 8 = 24 square feet

Chad's super Chadly new garden is 3 feet wider, and 2 feet longer.

new width = 3 + 3 = 6

new length = 8 + 2 = 10

new Area = 6 x 10 = 60 square feet

To find how much larger the new area is, subtract the original area.

60 – 24 = 36 square feet
