Question

A 3 m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 125 m and breadth 65 m. Find the area of the path.

Answer 1

Answer:

1176 m square

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 125 m

Breadth = 65 m

Length of larger rectangle = 125 + 6 = 131 m

Breadth = 65 + 6 = 71 m

Area of smaller rectangle = 125 *65 = 8125 m square

Area of larger rectangle = 131*171 = 9301 m square

Area of path = 9301 - 8125 = 1176 m square
