Question

6. A path 2 m wide is running outside a square field
whose side is 40 m. Determine the area of the path.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of field (including path) = 40+2+2 = 44m

Length of inner field (excluding path) =  40m

Area of field (including path) = 44m * 44m= 1936m^2

Area of inner field (excluding path) =  40m * 40m = 1600m^2

Area of path = Area of field (including path) - Area of inner field (excluding path)

                    = 336m^2

Area of path is 336m^2
