The area of the new garden will be 132ft longer than that of the current garden

Area of the square

The formula for calculating the area of a square is expressed as:

A = L²

If the garden measures 8 feet on each side, then;

A = 8²

A = 64ft²

If the side length is increased by 175%, hence new length will be;

l = 8 + (1.75*8)

A = 14 * 14ft

A = 196 ft²

Difference = 196 - 64

Difference = 132ft

Hence the area of the new garden will be 132ft longer than that of the current garden
