Answer:
ANSWER WILL BE 83 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION IN A RECTANGULAR LAWN, 15m LONG AND 9m WIDE HAS A PATH AROUND IT SO...
THE AREA OF PATH = AREA OF THE LAWN - AREA OF LAWN EXCLUDING THE PATH.
NOW...
IN OTHER WORDS .....
AREA OF THE PATH = AREA OF BIGGER RECTANGLE - AREA OF SMALLER RECTANGLE.
THEREFORE...
AREA OF PATH = (L×B)- (l×b ).........(l means smaller length and b means smaller breadth)
Area = 15×9 - {(15-1.5-1.5)×(9-1.5-1.5)
Area = 135m^2 - (12×6)
Area = 135-72
Area = 83m^2
Hence the area of the path is 83m^2
