Question

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

Answer 1

$\large{\sf{\underline{\underline\pink{Given:-}}}}$

• Length of the rectangular park = 125 m

• Breadth of the rectangular park = 65 m

$\large{\sf{\underline{\underline\orange{To\:Find:-}}}}$

• Area of the rectangular park = ?

$\large{\sf{\underline{\underline\green{Solution:-}}}}$

Area of the rectangular park :-

↦  Length × Breadth

↦  125 × 65

↦  8125 m²

Given that,

❂  A 3m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park.

So,

Length of the park along with path :-

↦  125 + 3 + 3

↦  131 m

Breadth of the park along with path :-

↦  65 + 3 + 3

↦  71 m

Area of the park along with path :-

↦  Length × Breadth

↦  131 × 71

↦  9301 m²

Area of the path :-

↦  Area of rectangular park along with path - Area of the park

↦  9301 - 8125

↦  1176 m²

So,

➠  Area of the path = 1176 m²

➠  Area of the park = 8125 m²
