Question

A path of a uniform width runs around and outside a square plot of side 25m. If the area of the pain
is 216 m², then its width is
a) 2 m
b) 4 m
c) 3 m
d) 8 m
​

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}$

Side of square plot = 25 m

Let the width of the path be = x

Area of the path:

Area of the whole plot (inclu. the path) - Area of the plot = 216

=》 $\sf{(x + 25)^{2} - 25^{2} = 216}$

=》 $\sf{x^{2} + 50x - 216 = 0}$

Values of x = 4, (-54)

=》 Since the side can't be negative, side = 4m
