100 m x 60 m. A 2 m width path made
around the rectangular park. The area
(in m2) of the path is
[JNV 2015]
(1) 324
(2) 656
(3) 675
(4) 780​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴇᴀ ᴏғ ᴘᴀᴛʜ ɪs =?

length of park =100m

breath of park =60m

2m width path made around the park

outer length=100+(2+2)=104m

outer breadth=60+2+2=64m

:: Area of path =outer area-inner area

=(104×64)-(100×60)

Area=656 sq.m

Answer 2

Answer :

• The area (in m²) of the path is 656 m².

Step-by-step explanation :

Given that :

• Length of the rectangular park = 100 m.
• Breadth of the rectangular park = 60 m.
• Width path made around it = 2 m.

To find :

• Area (in m²) of the path.

Formula Used :

• Outer area - Inner area.

Finding the area of path :

Outer length :

• = 100 + (2 + 2) = 104 m.

Outer breadth :

• = 60 + (2 + 2) = 64 m.

Area of Path :

• = Outer area - Inner area
• = (104 × 64) – (100 × 60) = 656 m².

.°. The area of the path is 656 m². ( i.e. option 2 is correct. )
