Question

A rectangular field is 70m long and 50m wide is surrounded by a path of uniform width. Given that the area of the path is 1024 m² find the width of path

Answer 1

Answer:

I don't your answer sorr

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' be the width of the path, x>0 then the area of the path will be

the total area (field + path) - the field area = the path area

(70 + 2x)*(50 + 2x) - 70*50 = 1024

by solving we find and consider only the positive roots since x>0

x = 4 m

the width of the path is 4m.
