Question

A path 2.5 m wide is running around a square field whose side is 45 m. Determine the area of
the path.

Answer 1

Answer:

area of the path = area of path and field - area o field

                           = (45+2.5) x (45+2.5)     - 45x45

                           = 2256.25 - 2025

                           = 231.25 sq. m

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

area of square field=45*45=2025

new length=45+(2.5*2)=45+5=50

breadth = 50

area = 50*50=2500

area of path = 2500-2025= 475 m^2
