Question

A rectangular park is 45 m long and 30 m wide. A path 5 m wide is constructed outside
the park. Find the area of the path.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

lenght of larger rectangle =length of smaller rectangle +2×2.5

=45+5

=50

Breadth of largest rectangle =breadth of smaller rectangle +2×2.5

=30+5

=35

Area of park =l×b

=50×35

1750
