Formula:
- [tex] \underline{ \boxed{ \tt{A = L × W}}}[/tex]
where;
- A is the Area
- L is the Length, and;
- W is the Width
Solution:
Given:
- W (Width) = 4.8 meters
- L (Length) = 5.6 meters
- To get the area of a rectangular garden, substitute the given value of length and width to the formula.
[tex] \tt \: A = L × W \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \tt \: = 5.6 \: × \: 4.8\\ \: \: \: \: \: \tt \: = \orange{ 26.88} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \approx \: \underline{ \boxed{ \tt{ \orange{27 \: {m}^{2} }}}}[/tex]
Therefore, the area of rectangular garden is approximately 27 m².
