Answer 1

★ Given :

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

★ To find :

Area of the path.

★ Solution :

• Length of the park = 125 m
• Breadth of the park = 65 m

⚘Area of park = Length × Breadth

➞ 125 × 65

➞ 8125 m²

___________________

⚘Length of park including Path

➞ 125 + 3 + 3

➞ 131 m

⚘Breadth of park including Path

➞ 65 + 3 + 3

➞ 71 m

___________________

⚘Area of park = Length × Breadth

➞ 131 × 71

➞ 9301 m

⚘Then, Area of path

➞ 9301 - 8125

➞ 1176 m²

∴ The area of path is 1176 m²
