Question

3. A rectangular field has 80 m length and 48 m breadth. Three roads, each of width 2 m
pass through the field such that two roads are parallel to the breadth and the third road
parallel to the length. Find the area covered by the three roads.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

352 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

first road: area of rectangle =  L*B, i.e. 48m(road was parallel to the breadth of the field) * 2m(width of the road) = 96m^2

second road: same as before 48m*2m = 96m^2

third road: same as before but this time its parallel to the length which is 80m so L*B = 80m * 2m = 160m^2

answer: sum = 96+96m +160m = 152m^2
