Question

a garden is 90m long and 75 metres broad. a path 5 m wide is be built outside and around the garden. Find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of original garden =90×75=6750 m

2

After path is added around rectangle, new length =90+2×5=100 m

New breadth =75+2×5=85 m

Area of rectangle with path =100×85=8500 m

2

So,

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

Area of path =8500−6750

=1750 m

2

We know,

1 m

2

=0.0001 hectare

So,

6750 m

2

=6750×0.0001

=0.675 hectare

Hence area of ground =6750 m

2

=0.675 hectares

Answer 2

Answer:

1750m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the path around the garden = 2 × [ (85 × 5) + (90 × 5) ] = 2 × (425m² + 450m²) = 2 × 875m² = 1750m².
