    Explanation:

    If Janet Decides to make height and base half, then the area is multiplied by 1/4.

    New height according to Janet = 25 ft / 2 = 12.5 ft

    New Length of garden = 30 ft / 2 = 15 ft

    Area of garden = Length x height

    = 15 x 12.5

    = 187.5

    Total amount spend on this land = Area of garden x Cost

    = 187.5 x $9.50

    = $1781.25

    Therefore, she will have to pay $1781.25
