run inside a square field of side 72 M find the area of path

Answer 1

72×2=144

144 metre is the distance he runs in a square field

Answer 2

* See attachment

Find the area of the square field:

Area = Length x Length

Area = 72 x 72 = 5184 m²

Find the area of the field without the path:

Length = 72 - 2 - 2 = 68 m

Breadth = 72 - 2 - 2 = 68 m

Area = 68 x 68 = 4624 m²

Find the area of the path:

Area of the path = 5184 - 4624 = 560 m²

Answer: The area of the path is 560 m²
