Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

area of park=l×b

=125×65

=7125m^2

area of park including path =(l+3)×(b+3)

=(125+3)×(65+3)

=128×68

=8704m^2

area of path =area of park including path - area of park

=8704-7125

=1579m^2
