Extend a list

If you can change elements in a list, you sure want to be able to add elements to it, right? You can use the + operator:

x = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
y = x + ["e", "f"]

You just won the lottery, awesome! You decide to build a poolhouse and a garage. Can you add the information to the areas list?

Exercise instructions

Use the + operator to paste the list ["poolhouse", 24.5] to the end of the areas list. Store the resulting list as areas_1.
Further extend areas_1 by adding data on your garage. Add the string "garage" and float 15.45. Name the resulting list areas_2.

areas_1 = ____

# Add garage data to areas_1, new list is areas_2
