Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so,

80 metres x 65 metres = 5200

Area of original garden =80×65=5200 m2

After path is added around rectangle, new length =80+2×5=90 m

New breadth =65+2×5=75 m

Area of rectangle with path =90×75=6750m2

So,

Area of path = Area of rectangle with path − Area of rectangle without path

Area of path =5200-6750

                      =-1550m2

We know, 

1 m2=0.0001 hectare

So,

6750m2=6750×0.0001

                =0.675hectare

Hence area of ground =6750 m2=0.675 hectares
