Question

a pathway 2 metre wide runs outside a rectangle lawn. the lawn is 24 metre long and 16 metre broad. what is the area of the path

Answer 1

ar of path is 84 cm square

Answer 2

Because the path is 2m wide so take the dimensions of the total area including path and lawn be 26*18
Area of total=l*b = 26*18 = 468

Area of lawn= l*b = 24*16 = 384

Area of path = Total area - Area of lawn
= 468-384
=84 cm2
