Question

A rectangular park is 45 m long and 30 m wide.
A path 2.5 m wide is constructed outside the park.
Find the area of the path.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

step by step explanation

length of park = 45m

Breadth of park= 30m

width of park= 2.5m

length of park with path constructed outside the park = 45+2.5+2.5=50m

breadth of park with path constructed outside the park =30+2.5+2.5=35m

area of path = area of path constructed - area of path

= ( 50x35) - ( 45x30)

= 1750 m square - 1350 m square

= 400 m square
