Question

A gymnasium is 50m long and 30m wide. A running track 2.5m wide runs all around it on the inside. Find the area of the track?

Answer 1

Answer:

375 sq m

Step-by-step explanation:

length of gymnasium = 50 m

                    breadth = 30 m

length of gymnasium excluding track = 45 m (50 - 2.5 + 2.5)

                    breadth = 25 m

area of gymnasium =50*30

                                =1500 sq m

area of gymnasium excluding track  = 45*25

                                                           =1125 sq m

area of track = 1500 sq m - 1125 sq m  

                     =375 sq m
