Question

6. The side of a square field is 125 m. There
are two paths running inside it along the
sides, crossing each other at the centre.
The width of the lengthwise path is 3 m
and the width of the breadthwise path is
5 m. Find the areas of the two pathways.​

Answer 1

Answer:

985 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of path on length wise = (125 - 3) * 5 = 610 m².

Area of path on breadth wise = (125 - 5 ) * 3 = 360 m²

Area of rectangle at intersection of paths = 5 * 3 = 15 m².

Thus the Total area of two pathways = 610 + 360+15 = 985 m²
