Question

A path 1m wide is built inside a square park of side 30m along its sides. find the area of the path. calculate the cost of constructing the path at the rate of 70 per m2.

Answer 1

length of the side of the square = 30 m

wideness of the path =1 m

area of the path = L*B (since the path forms a rectangle according to the given conditions.)

= 30*1 = 30 m2.

price for building the path = 70 per m2

total cost = 70*30 = Rs 2100
