Answer:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 9x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

    length = x - 4 ft

    width/breadth = x - 5 ft

Then,

    Area of patio (rectangular) = l × b

                                                 = (x - 4) (x - 5)

                                                 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 5x - 4x + 20

                                                 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 9x + 20

∴) Area of the patio = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 9x + 20
