Question

A garden 18m by 15m is sourrounded by a path of uniform width 2.25. Find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer:

area of path = 168.75 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of Garden= 18 m

Breath of Garden= 15 m

Garden is surrounded by a path of uniform width 2.25.

Find: the area of path

Solution:

According to the question path made surrounds 2.25 meter wide,

Length of Garden along with path= 18+2.25+2.25

= 22.50m

Breath of Garden along with path= 15+2.25+2.25

= 19.50m

area of Path = ( area of outer surface of Garden) - (area of inner surface of Garden)

area of path = 22.50×19.50 - 18× 15

= 438.75 - 270

= 168.75 m^2

area of path = 168.75m^2
