Question

A rectangular garden of dimensions 12m by 6m is surrounded by a 3m wide path. what is the area of the path.

Answer 1

Solution -  

Length of garden = 12 m  

Breadth of garden = 6 m  

Area of garden = (12 × 6) m²  

= 72 m²  

Length of garden including path  

= (12 + 3 +3) m  = 18 m  

Breadth of garden including path  

= (6 + 3 + 3) m  = 12 m  

Area of garden including path  

= (18 × 12) m²  

= 216 m²    

Area of path = (216 - 72) m²​  

= 144 m²
