Answer:

Therefore, area of the pond is 48 feet².

Explanation:

Since perimeter of a rectangle is represented by 2(length + width)

It has been given in the question perimeter = 28 feet and width = 6 feet.

So perimeter = 2 (l + w )

28 = 2 ( l + 6 )

14 = ( l + 6)

l = 14 - 6 = 8 feet

Now area of the pond = area of rectangle = Length × width

= 6 × 8

= 48 feet²

Therefore, area of the pond is 48 feet².
