Question

5m wide path is built inside a rectangular field of size 550m×360m. find the area of the path​

Answer 1

i  think your answer is 39600m2

Step-by-step explanation:

550mx360m=198000m2

198000m2 divided by 5 is 39600m2

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of the path $=9000 m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular field is of 550 m long and 360 m wide.

5 m wide path is built inside this field.

Therefore, Length of part of the field not having the path is

(550 - 2x5) m = 540 m  [since, path at both ends reduces 5 m each]

Likewise, width of part of the field not having the path is

(360 - 2x5) m = 350 m  [since, path at both ends reduces 5 m each]

Therefore, Area of the rectangular field including the path $=(550).(360) m^2$

And, Area of the rectangular field excluding the path $=(540).(350) m^2$

Therefore, Area of the path $=(550).(360) m^2 - (540).(350) m^2$

$=(50).(90)[(11)(4) - (6)(7)] m^2$

$=4500[44 - 42] m^2$

$=(4500).(2) m^2$

$=9000 m^2$
