Question

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

Answer 1

When we increase the sides by 4m
we get the length of the full region as 134 m and breadth as 89m
So area of this region comprises of the field and the road=lb
=134×89
=11926 m²
And area of the field= lb
=130×85
=11050 m²
Now subtracting both we get area of path=
=11926-11050
=876 m²
Hence area of the path=876 m²

Answer 2

Answer:

When we increase the sides by 4m

we get the length of the full region as 134 m and breadth as 89m

So area of this region comprises of the field and the road=lb

=134×89

=11926 m²

And area of the field= lb

=130×85

=11050 m²

Now subtracting both we get area of path=

=11926-11050

=876 m²

Hence area of the path=876 m²
