Answer:

[tex]Area = 60x - x^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Perimeter = 120[/tex]

[tex]Side\ 1 = x[/tex]

Required

The area of the garden

First, we calculate the length of the other side using:

[tex]Perimeter = 2 *(Side\ 1 + Side\ 2)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]120 = 2 *(x + Side\ 2)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]60 = x + Side\ 2[/tex]

Make Side 2 the subject

[tex]Side\ 2 = 60 - x[/tex]

So, the area of the garden is:

[tex]Area = Side\ 1 * Side\ 2[/tex]

[tex]Area = x * (60 - x)[/tex]

Expand

[tex]Area = 60x - x^2[/tex]
