Question

7. A path of 2.5 m wide runs along outside a square park of side 65 m. Find the area of the path. ​

Answer 1

Answer: 112 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square park = 65 m

One side of square park = √65

                                         = 8.06226

Wideness of Path = 2.5 m

Clearly,

           Sides of Square park = 8.06226 + 2.5 m

                                               = 10.56226

⇒ Area of park excluding path = 65m

⇒ Area of park including path = 10.56226²

                                                  = 10.56226 * 10.56226

                                                  = 111.56134 m

                                                  = 112 m [ If removing decimals is necessary ]
