Question

A rectangular field is 12m in length and 9m in width. A path of width 1m is constructed outside it adjacent to the side covering the field. Find the area of the path.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of path is equal to area of bigger rectangle - area of smaller rectangle here the bigger rectangle is formed by covering the smaller rectangle by width of 1 metre

So

The length and breadth is increased by 2 metre

So

14*11-12*9=154-108=46cm²

Answer 2

Area of path=Area of rectangle EFGH-Area of field

or, (11m×14m)-(9m×12m)

so, 154m²-108m²



Ans:46 m²

Hence, Area of path=46 m²
