Question

a 5m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 100m and breadth75m find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer:

area of rectangular park = length × breadth

=(125×65)m^2

=8125m^2

since 3m wide path runs outside the park so the length of park along with path is 131m and the breadth of park along with park is 71

area of park with path = 131×71

=9301m^2

area of path = area of rectangular park - area of park

= (9301-8125)^2

=1176m^2
