the question is not absolutely clear...but still i will try to answer

let us say the side length of her husband`s garden is x feet
the area(or space ) of the garden is x^2(x times x)
space of hannah`s garden is 49 ( 7 times 7)

but all he needs is half the space , so
x^2 = 49/2
can you now find x ?

x²= 49/2
x²= 24.5
x= 4.95
