Question

1. A rectangular garden 30 m long and 25 m wide has a path 2.5 m wide running all around
inside it. Find the area of the path.​

Answer 1

Hey friend,

Here is the solution :-

Here, the area of the bigger rectangle =

$30 \times 25 = {750 \: m}^{2}$

And the area of the smaller rectangle =

$(30 - 2.5 - 2.5) \times (25 - 2.5 - 2.5) \\ \\ (30 - 5) \times (25 - 5) \\ \\ 25 \times 20 = {500 \: m}^{2}$

Now, we have to find the area of the path, so we have to subtract the area of small rectangle from the area of bigger rectangle :-

$750 - 500 = 250$

Here we get the result as

$250 \: {m}^{2}$

So, the area of the path is 250 square meter.

✨I hope this will help you....✨
