susan will have 　 feet? to plant

Explanation:

Step1: Identify shape & formula

The garden is a right triangle; area formula is $\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$.

Step2: Substitute values

Base = 8 ft, height = 8 ft.
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 8$

Step3: Calculate the area

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 64 = 32$

Answer:

32
