Quandaries & Queries

Question from Megan, a student:

My dad and I are working on a math problem and we have to find an equation to represent the area of the garden.
The garden is a 45 by 45 garden. One side of the garden butts up against the house.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Megan

Hi Megan,

Is this your situation?

If so then the area of the garden is 45 × 45 square units.
