Answer:
219 sq m
Step-by-step explanation:
length of the park = l = 40 m
width of the park = b = 30 m
area of park = l × b
= 40 × 30
= 1200 sq m
width of footpath = 1.5 m
footpath is on both sides of park
therefore
length of park with footpath = 40 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 43 m
width of the park with footpath = 30 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 33 m
area of park with footpath = l × b
= 43 × 33
= 1419 sq m
area of footpath = area of park with footpath - area of park without footpath
= 1419 - 1200
= 219 sq m
