Question

A path of uniform width 2.5 m runs outside a rectangular plot of dimensions 32m by 18m find the area of the path​

Answer 1

ANSWER

Clearly, the length of the rectangular field including the path = 30 m.

Breadth = 27 m.

Its Area = 30 x 27 = 810 m2

Width of the path = 2.5 m

Length of the rectangular field including the path = 30 – 2.5 – 2.5 = 25 m.

Breadth = 27 – 2.5 – 2.5 = 22m

Area of the rectangular field including the path = 25 x 22 = 550 m2

Hence, area of the path = 810 – 550 = 260 m2.

Answer 2

Answer:

=225m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangular field=l×b

=32×18

=576m^2

field escape path,l =32-5=27

b=18-5=13

area of remain field =13×27

=351m^2

area of path =576-351

=225m^2
