Question

latasha wants her vegetable garden to have an area of 48 square feet. she wants the side lengths to be whole numbers. latasha determined she can have a garden that is 6 feet by 8 feet because 6×8 = 48. what is another garden latasha can have? 5 feet by 12 feet 3 feet by 26 feet 4 feet by 18 feet 2 feet by 24 feet

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for rectangle

The area of a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.

Step2: Calculate areas of each option

For 5 feet by 12 feet: $A_1=5\times12 = 60$ square - feet.
For 3 feet by 26 feet: $A_2=3\times26 = 78$ square - feet.
For 4 feet by 18 feet: $A_3=4\times18 = 72$ square - feet.
For 2 feet by 24 feet: $A_4=2\times24 = 48$ square - feet.

Answer:

2 feet by 24 feet
