Arectangular garden 50 feet long and 10 feet wide is enclosed by a fence. to make the garden larger, while using the same fence, its shape is changed to a square. by how many square feet does this enlarge the garden?

The area of the rectangular garden is 50 x 10 = 500 square feet.

The perimeter of the rectangular garden is 50 + 50 + 10 +10 =120 feet.

The perimeter of the square also needs to be 120 because it is using the same amount of fence.

Divide 120 by 4 sides: 120/4 = 30

Each side of the square garden would need to be 30 feet.

The area of a square is Side^2, 30^2 = 900 square feet.

The square is 900 - 500 = 400 square feet more.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
