Question

a garden is 80m long and 75m broad.a path 3m wide is to be built outside and around it.find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer:

966 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the garden = 80 × 75 = 6000m²

After path is added around the rectangle, new length = 80 + 2 × 3 = 86 m

New Breadth = 75 + 2 × 3 = 81 m

Area of rectangle with path = 86 × 81 = 6966m²

So,

Area of the path = Area of the rectangle with path - Area of the rectangle without path

Area of the path = 6000 - 6966

= 966 m²
