Question

A path of a uniform width 5 m runs around the inside of a square field of side 30 m. find the area of the path.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is A)

The dimensions of the outer square containing the square field with the path  =21+2(3)=27m

Area of the path =  Area of the outer square containing the square field with the path − Area of the square field

Area of the path =27×27−21×21=729−441=288m2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the outer square containing the square field with the path 

 = 30 + 2(5) = 40

Area of the path =  Area of the outer square containing the square field with the path − Area of the square field

Area of the path =40×40−30×30=1600−900=700m2
