Question

a path 2m wide runs along outside a square park of side 80m find the area of the path​

Answer 1

Side of the of the square park = 80 m.

Area if the square park = s × s.

= 80 × 80.

= 6400 m².

Width of the path outside the park = 2 m.

Side of the path = 80 + 2 + 2

= 84 m.

Area of whole square park = s × s.

= 84 × 84

= 7056 m².

Area of the path = ( area of park) - ( area of whole park )

= 6400 - 7056

= 656 m².
