Question

5. A rectangular playground 75 m 45 m has a jogging track of width 3.7 m along its inside edges
Find the area of the jogging track.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangular playground is = (75 x 45) sq. m = 3375 sq. m

Length of the rectangular playground without the jogging track = (75 - 3.7 - 3.7) m = 67.6 m

Width of the rectangular playground without the jogging track = (45 - 3.7 - 3.7) m = 37.6 m

Area of the rectangular playground without the jogging track = (37.6 x 67.6) sq. m = 2541.76 sq. m

Now, the ares of the jogging track = (3375 - 2541.76) sq. m = 833.24 sq. m
