Question

A 3m 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

Length of the park including path

Length of the park including path=125m+3m+3m=131m

Length of the park including path=125m+3m+3m=131mBreadth of the park including path

Length of the park including path=125m+3m+3m=131mBreadth of the park including path= 65m+3m+3m=71m

Length of the park including path=125m+3m+3m=131mBreadth of the park including path= 65m+3m+3m=71mArea of the park including path

Length of the park including path=125m+3m+3m=131mBreadth of the park including path= 65m+3m+3m=71mArea of the park including path131m\times71m=9301m^2

Length of the park including path=125m+3m+3m=131mBreadth of the park including path= 65m+3m+3m=71mArea of the park including path131m\times71m=9301m^2Area of the path

Length of the park including path=125m+3m+3m=131mBreadth of the park including path= 65m+3m+3m=71mArea of the park including path131m\times71m=9301m^2Area of the path=9301m^2-8125m^2=1176m^2

Length of the park including path=125m+3m+3m=131mBreadth of the park including path= 65m+3m+3m=71mArea of the park including path131m\times71m=9301m^2Area of the path=9301m^2-8125m^2=1176m^2Hence the required area= 1176m^2
