tell u later ok I am solving it

Answer 2

Answer:

759.39 sq m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length = A, breadth = B

A:B = 5:2

Road area 2*2.5*B+2*2.5*A= 305

or, 5 B + 5A = 305

or, 5 B + 5*5/2*B = 305

or, 17.5 B = 305

or, B = 17.43

So, A= 5/2*17.43= 43.571

Hence area of garden = 17.43 * 43.571 = 759.39 sq m
