Question

a path 3.5 wide runs inside along the boundary of a square field whose side is 65 m . find the area of path

Answer 1

area of path = 861 metres

Answer 2

side of inner square = 65-3.5=61.5
area of path = area of outer square - area of inner square

=$65 ^{2}-(61.5) ^{2}$
=4225-3782.25
=422.75 square meter
