Question

a path all around inside of a rectangular Park 37by30 occupies an area of 570 m square find the width of the path ​

Answer 1

let the width of the path be X

given,

outer length 37m

outer width 30m

so,

inner length 38-2x

inner width 30-2x

area of path =outerarea-innerarea

570=(37)(30)-(37-2x)(30-2x)---A

X=57/2,6

substitute 5in A

570=[(37)(30)-(37-2(5)](30-2(5)

570=570

hence, width of the path is 5m
