Question

A 4 wide path runs around a field of length 130m and width 85m. Find the of the path.

Answer 1

given,
length of field= 130 m
width of field = 85 m
length of field along path = 130+4×2 = 138 m
width of field along path = 85+4×2 = 93 m
area of path :-
138×93-130×85
=> 12834-11050
=> 1784 square m
hence the required area is 1784 square metre
