Answer 2

$\bold{\underline{\textsf{Question:}}}$

3 meter wide path runs outside around a rectangular park of length 125 m and breadth 65 m. Find the area of the path.

$\underline{\bold{Solution:}}$

Given :

• Length of the rectangular park = 125 meter.
• Breadth of the rectangular park = 65 meter.
• There is a path that runs outside around park with width of 3 meter.

So

Length of the rectangular park along with path = 125 + (3×2) = 131 meter.

Breadth of the rectangular park along with path = 65+(3×2) = 71 meter.

$\bold{\boxed{\textsf{Area of the rectangle = Length * Breadth}}}$

Area of the park :

$\bold{\textsf{Area of Rectangular park along with path - Area of the rectangular park}}$

$\bold{=[(131*71)-(125*65)]Sq.meter}$

$\bold{=(9301-8125)sq.meter}$

$\bold{=1176{\quad}sq.meter}$

$\bold{\boxed{\textsf{Area of the path = 1176 sq.meter.}}}$
