mr. kapp is building a rectangular garden bed in his backyard. the width of the garden bed is 8 feet. the length is 6 times the width. what is the area of the garden bed mr. kapp is building?
show your work.
area = square feet

Explanation:

Step1: Find the length

Given width $w = 8$ feet and length $l$ is 6 times the width, so $l=6\times w$.
$l = 6\times8=48$ feet

Step2: Calculate the area

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$.
$A=48\times8 = 384$ square - feet

Answer:

384
