Question

A rectangular park is 40m long and 30 m wide. A path 2m wide path is constructed all around outside the park. Find the area of the path.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of park =l×b=45×30=1350 cm

2

Area of park with path is =45+2.5+2.5×30+2.5+2.5=1750 cm

2

Therefore,

Area of path = Area of park with path − Area of rectangular park

=1750−1350=400 cm

2

Hence, this is the answer.
