Question

a path of 1.5 m wide runs around outside a rectangular plot of length 15 M and width i10 M find the area of path

Answer 1

(10+1.5+1.5)(15+1.5+1.5)-(10*15)
》(13*18)-(150)
》234-150
》84
area of path is 84m^2

Answer 2

The area of path is 84 sq.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangular plot = 15 m

Breadth of rectangular plot = 10 m

Area of plot =$Length \times Breadth = 15 \times 10 = 150 m^2$

Width of path = 1.5 m

Outer length = 15+(1.5+1.5)=18 m

Inner length = 10+(1.5+1.5)=13 m

Area of path = Outer area - Inner area

Area of path $= (18 \times 13)-150= 84 m^2$

Hence  the area of path is 84 sq.m.
