Question

A rectangular grassy plot measures 90 m by 65 m.
Two pathways, each 1.5m wide are running through
the middle of the plot, parallel to its length and
breadth. Find the area of the grassy portion.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of the rectangular garden = 90 * 65 = 5850 m 2

area of the path ={( length of the rectangular garden * 1.5 )- 1.5*1.5 } + breadth of the rectangular garden * 1.5

area of the path = 230.25 m 2

area of the grassy ground = area of the rectangular garden - area of the path

=> 5850.00-230.25

=> 5619.75 m 2
