Question

4: A rectangular park is of dimensions 90m by 80m.Four paths pass through the
park that two paths each of width 1.5m are parallel to the breadth and two
paths each of width 2m are parallel to the length. Find:​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the two paths along the length = 2 x (90m x 7m) = 1260m²

Area of the two paths along the breadth = 2 x (70m x 5m) = 700m²

Area of the paths crossing each other = 4 x (7m x 5m) = 140m²

Therefore, total area of the path = (1260 + 700 - 140) m²

                                             = 1820m²

Area of the park = 90m x 70m = 6300m²

Therefore, area of the remaining portion = (6300 - 1820) m²

                                                        = 4480m²
