Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of garden =30×25=750

After construction of path, garden will be of rectangular shape of length = 30-2.5-2.5=25 and with =25-2.5-2.5=20

Area of this rectangle=25×20=500

So the area of path = 750 - 500=250

you have to subtract 2.5 twice because length and width are shortened from both sides
