    80 ft²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The area of the path is equal to the area of the overall square minus the area of the garden.

    Area of a square is the side length squared:

    A = s²

    The overall square has a side length of 12 feet. The side length of the garden is 12 - 2 - 2 = 8 feet. So the area of the path is:

    A = 12² - 8²

    A = 144 - 64

    A = 80

    The area of the path is 80 ft².
