Question

A rectangular park is 100 m long and 60 m wide. It has a path 2.5 m inside the park all around. Find the area of the path and cost of tiling it at 80 per sq metre​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of the park = 50 m

Breadth of the park = 30 m

Area of the park = 50×30

=1500m

2

Width of the path inside the park = 2m

Length of the park without path = 50−(2+2)=50−4=46m

Breadth of the park without path = 30−(2+2)=30−4=26m

Area of the park without the path = 46×26

=1196m

2

Area of the path = Area of park - Area of park without path

=1500−1196

=304m
