Question

a park is 100m long and 80m wide.a 2m wide path runs along all sides inside the park.find the area of the park and path

Answer 1

length of the park = 100 m
breadth of the park = 80 m
∴its area = l*b
                 = (100*80)m
                 = 8000 sq. m
now, area of the path =(104*84)m - 8000 sq. m
                                     = 8736 sq. m - 8000 sq. m
                                     = 736 sq. m
