Question

4. A square lawn has a 2 m wide path surrounding it. If the area of the
lawn is 225 m², find the area of the path,
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,area of a square lawn=225m²

We know, area of a square=side×side

therefore, length of each side=√225m²=15m

Now, the square lawn has a 2m wide path surrounding it

Including the path, length of the new square=15+2+2=19m

area of the new square=(19m)²=361m²

Therefore, area of the path=(361-225)m²=136m²
