Math Problem Statement

Jaya wants to make a vegetable garden in her backyard for 8 different vegetables. She makes 8 sections in the garden. The dimensions of the garden are 4 sections long by 2 sections wide. Each section is in the shape of a square. The area of the vegetable garden is 288 square feet. What is the length of the vegetable garden?

It seems like you've uploaded the same image again. Based on the image from the previous upload, we already solved the problem regarding Jaya's vegetable garden.

The length of the garden is 24 feet based on the area provided and the layout of the garden (4 sections long by 2 sections wide).
