Question

a pavement of width 2 metre is built around a square shaped Garden the area of the pavement alone is 116 square metres find one side of the garden​

Answer 1

Answer:

Side of square shaped garden = x

Total area of garden = x²

Area of paths = x²-(x-4)² = 116

                         x²-x²+8x-16 = 116

                                8x = 132

                                 x = 16.5

Side of garden = 16.5m
