Question

a 5m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 175 m and breadth 75 m find the area of the path

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the length and breadth will increase by 5m on both sides So,

let the new length including the path= 175m +2×5m

= 185m

and b = 75+ 2×5m= 85m

Now,

area of the path = area of the rectangle with path - area of the rectangle

= (185m)× (85m) - (175m)×(75m)

= 25(37m×17m - 35×15)

= 25(629-525)m²

=25×104m²

= 2600m²
