Question

A 5meter wide path is running around a rectangular park of length 20meter and breadth 10meter. Find the area of the path

Answer 1

Area of the park = 20 x 10 = 200 m²

Length of the park and path = 20 + 5 + 5 = 30 m

Breadth of the park and path = 10 + 5 + 5 = 20 m

Area of the park and path = 30 x 20 = 600 m²

Area of the path = 600 - 200 = 400 m²

Answer: 400 m²
