A man creates in his yard for his home that measures 12 ft by 12 ft. He then paves a cross path through the center that is two foot thick. In order to buy planting soil, he needs to determine the area of actual planting space. What is the area of new garden space?
A. 48 ft2
B. 64 ft2
C. 86 ft2
D. 100 ft2
D. 100 ft2
Explanation: Because the path is 2ft thick, you need to subtract this from the side measurements, so 12 – 2 = 10. This gives you the new dimensions of plantable space. From there you just find the area as you normally would, so 10 x 10 = 100 ft2
