Question

A garden is 90m long and 75 m broad.A path 5 m wide is to be built all around(outside) it along its border.Find the area of the path .

Answer 1

Area of path is 1150
2*(90*5)+((75-5-5)*5)2
900+65*5*2
900+650
1550

Answer 2

length of garden=90m
breadth of garden=75m
area of garden=l×b
=90×75=6750
length of garden including path=90+5+5=100
breadth of garden including path=75+5+5=85
area of garden including path=100×85
=8500
area of path =8500-6750= 1750
