Answer 2

Answer:

The area of the path is 92 $m^2$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangular garden has dimensions 11 m $\times$ 8 m. A path of 2 m wide has to be  constructed along its sides.  

To find:

Find the area of the path.

Solution:

Area of the garden = 8 $\times$ 11 = 88 $m^2$

Area of the garden  after widening, length = 11 + 2 + 2 = 15 m

Breadth = 8 + 2 + 2 = 12 m

New area = 15$\times$12 = 180 $m^2$

Area of the path = 180 – 88 = 92 $m^2$

Result:

The area of the path in the rectangular garden is 92 $m^2$.
