Question

A path of width 5 m runs around a rectangular park of length 20 m and breadth 15 m. Find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer:

•Given :

A 5m wide path is running around a rectangular park of length 20m and breadth 10m

•To find :

find the area of the path

•Solution:

Length of park = 20 m

Width of park = 10 m

A 5 m wide path is running around a rectangular park

Outer length =20+5+5=30 m

Outer breadth = 10+5+5=20 m

Area of path = Outer area - Inner area =

$(30 \times 20)-(20 \times 10)=400 sq.m.</p><p></p><p>(30×20)−(20×10)=400sq.m.$

$\huge \green{ \boxed{ 400sqm.}}$
