Question

A rectangular field of length 72 m and breadth
60 m has a 6 m wide path all around it just inside
its boundary. Find the area of the path.​

Answer 1

Answer:

5148m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

length of the field= 72m

breadth of the field= 60m

the path is 6m wide

length of the path= (72+6)m= 78m

Breadth of the path= (60+6)m= 66m

Area of the path = L×B

= 78×66m^2

= 5148m^2

Hope my answer helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given

Length of the park = 50 m

Breadth of the park = 30 m

Area of the park = 50×30

=1500m

2

Width of the path inside the park = 2m

Length of the park without path = 50−(2+2)=50−4=46m

Breadth of the park without path = 30−(2+2)=30−4=26m

Area of the park without the path = 46×26

=1196m

2

Area of the path = Area of park - Area of park without path

=1500−1196

=304m
