Find the area of the park:

Area = Length x Breadth

Area = 35 x 17 = 595 m²

Find the area of the Park and Path:

Length = 35 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 40 m

Breadth = 17 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 22 m

Area = 40 x 22 = 880 m²

Find the area of the Path:

Area of the Path = Area of the Park and Path - Area of the Park

Area of the Path = 880 - 595 = 285 m²

Answer: The area of the path is 285 m²
