Answer:
A(h) = h²/2 - 6*h + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The garden is rectangular, and area of a rectangle is:
A(r) = L*w
Where L is the length and w is the width of the rectangle
Now if we call "h" the length of the house, we have the following expressions
L = h - 2 and
w = h/2 - 5
The expression for the area f the ectangle as a function of the length of the house is:
A(h) = ( h - 2 )* ( h/2 -5 )
A(h) = h²/2 - 5*h - h + 10
A(h) = h²/2 - 6*h + 10
