Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

area of path = 579m²

Step-by-step explanation:

area of path = (125+3)(65+3) - 65*125

i. e. area of( path and park - park )

so 128*68 - 65*125

8704 - 8125

= 579

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

inner rectangle measurements:

length = 125m  and breadth = 65m

outer rectangle measurements:

length = 125 m + 3m + 3m = 131 m

breadth = 65 m + 3m+ 3m = 71 m

Area of path = Area of outer rectangle - area of inner rectangle

= ( 131 m x 71m ) - ( 125 m x 65m)

= ( 9301 m²) - ( 8125m²)

= 1176 m²
