Answer 12

your welcome

Answer 13

The equation would be
\[x ^{2} + (x+3)^{2} = 269\]Based purely on guessing several values I was able to determine that x = 10 for the length of the small garden, and the length of the large garden is 13 feet. Personally I think it's easier to brute-force questions like these, but if you really want to solve it algebraically, then you would start by FOIL'ing the (x + 3)^2. This gets you x^2 + 6x + 9, and combined with the first x^2 you would get
\[2x ^{2} + 6x + 9 = 269\]From here you can try to factor it out as\[2x ^{2} + 6x - 260 = 0\]and you would end up getting 2(x-10)(x+13). Since (x+13) would give a solution of x=-13, it can be tossed out, leaving you with the only other answer, (x-10), as x=10.
