Question

9. The length and the breadth of a rectangular park are in the ratio 8: 5. A path 1.5 m wide, running all
around the outside of the park has an area of 594 m². Find the dimensions of the park.
8x
5x
1.5 m
[Hint. Let the length and the breadth of the plot be 8x and 5x metres respectively. Then
Area of the path = [(8x + 3) (5x + 3) – 40 x?] m² = (39x +9) m?
Given: Area of the path = 594 m² :: 39x + 9 = 594].​
