Answer:

1351 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given That,

Length = 120m

Breadth = 80m

Width of path = 3.5m

First,

Area of Rectangular Garden (including the path)

= (120 × 80) m²

= 9600 m²

Now,

Length of the grassy plot = [120 - 2(3.5)] m

                                        = [120 - 7] m

                                        = 113 m

Breadth of the grassy plot = [80 - 2(3.5)] m

                                          = [80 - 7] m

                                          = 73 m

∴ Area of the grassy plot = (113 × 73) m²

                                       = 8249 m²

∴ The area of the path = Area of entire garden - area of the grassy plot

= (9600 - 8249) m²

= 1351 m²
