Question

a rectangular garden 30 m long and 25 m wide has a path 2.5 m wide all around inside it . find the area of path.

Answer 1

area of the path = 2×(length of garden × width of path) + 2×(width of garden × width of path) – 4×(width of path)² = 2(30×2.5) + 2(25×2.5) – 4×2.5² = 2×75 + 5×25 – 25 = 250m
