Answer 1

Answer:

total area of Walker's path = 238 sq.m

total area of the garden = 102 sq.m

Answer 2

The area of the garden that is grassed is 310 m^2.

• Given,
• A rectangular garden of dimension = 20 × 17 m
• Implies that, the length of the rectangular garden = 20 m
• The width of the rectangular garden = 17 m
• The walker's path along the boundary of the garden is of width (un-grassed) = 1.5 m.
• The new width of the garden is = 17 - 1.5 = 15.5 m
• The area of the rectangle is  = l × b
• = 20 × 15.5 = 310 m^2
