Question

a footh path uniform width 5m run round the inside of rectangular park 38 m long and 32 m wide. find the area of path​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of the rectangular park = l x b sq.m

=38 x 32 sq. m

=1216 sq. m

Area of the rectangular park along with the footpath =

38+5=43m (adding the width of the footpath)

32+5=37m

therefore,area of the park along with the footpath= l x b sq.m

= 43 x 37 sq.m = 1591 sq.m

Area of the footpath= Area of the rectangular park along with the footpath - area of the footpath

therefore , area of the footpath= 1591 sq.m -1216sq.m

= 375 sq.m
