Answer: \(128\ ft^2\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the rectangular flower bed=\(2^4\ ft=2\times2\times2\times2=16\ ft\)
The width of the rectangular flower bed=\(2^3\ ft=2\times2\times2=8\ ft\)
We know that the area of rectangle is given by
Area = \(length\times width\)
Therefore, the area of the flower bed= \(16\times8=128\ ft^2\)
Thus, the area of the flower bed= \(128\ ft^2\)
