Question

A path 3 m wide runs outside and around a rectangular park
of length 120 m and breadth 65 m. Find the area of the
path in hectare.

Answer 1

Answer⤵️⤵️

Length of rectangular park=125m, breadth of rectangular park=65m and width of the path=3m

Length of rectangular park with path=125+3+3=131m

Breadth of rectangular park with path=65+3+3=71m

∴ Area of path = Area of park with path−Area of park without path

=(AB×AD)−(EF×EH)

=(131×71)−(125×65)

=9301−8125

=1,176m

2

Thus, area of path around the park is 1,176m

Answer 2

AnSwEr:

Length of rectangular park=125m, breadth of

rectangular park=65m and width of the path=3m

Length of rectangular park with path=125+3+3=131m

Breadth of rectangular park with path=65+3+3=71m

∴ Area of path = Area of park with path−Area of park without path

=(AB×AD)−(EF×EH)

=(131×71)−(125×65)

=9301−8125

=1,176m

Thus, area of path around the park is 1,176m
