Answer 1

It'll be easier if you draw the figure first. Please check the one I've drawn.

It is found that a side of the square inside

= 90-(6+6)

= 78 m

Area of the path = area of square park- area of square

inside

= 90^2 - 78^2

= 2016 sq.m

Cost for tiling the path = 2016 ÷ 50

= $40.32

Cost for laying grass on the remaining area

= 78^2 ÷ 30

= $202.8

Hope my answer was helpful.
