Question

5. A rectangular garden has dimensions 11m x 8m. A path of 2m wide has to be
constructed along its sides. Find the area of the path.
​

Answer 1

Path of 2m wide around A rectangular garden of 11 × 8 m  will have Area = 92 m²

Step-by-step explanation:  

A rectangular garden has dimensions 11 m × 8m  

A path of 2m wide has to be constructed  

Total Area including path = (11 + 2 + 2) × ( 8 + 2 + 2)  

= 15 × 12  

= 180 m²  

Area of Garden = 11 * 8  = 88 m²  

Area of Path = Total Area - Area of Garden  

=> Area of Path = 180 - 88  

=> Area of Path = 92 m²
