Question

a path 1 m wide is built along the border and inside a Square Garden of side 30 M find the area of the path

Answer 1

Solution: Given, side of the garden = 30m, Width of the path inside the garden = 1m.

Therefore, side of the garden without path = 30m — 1m — 1m = 28m

Area of square = Side^2
Area of square garden =30^2 = 900 m^2

Area of garden without path = 28^2= 784 m^2

Area of path = Area of garden — Area of garden without path
= 900m^2 —784m^2 = 116 m^2

Answer 2

Given, side of the garden = 30m
, Width of the path inside the garden = 1m,


Therefore, side of the garden without path = 30-2 = 28m

Area of square = Side2
Area of square garden  = 30 × 30
=900 m2

Area of garden without path = 28 × 28
=784 m2

Area of path = Area of garden — Area of garden without path
= 900m2 —784m2 
= 116 m2
