Question

A rectangular park’s perimeter is 88 m and its length is 24 m. The park has a square garden, of side length 10 m, where children are not allowed to play. If the rest of the park is used as a playground for children, find the area of the playground.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 380 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular Park's width= [Perimeter (2 width + 2 length) - 2 length] / 2

88- 48= 40/2 = 20 width

WidthXLength=Area of rectangle

20X24= 480

Area of square:

${side}^{2}$

${10}^{2} = 100$

Playground area= 480-100= 380 meter

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 88m

length = 24m

perimeter = 2×(l+b)

88 = 2×(24+b)

88 = 48+2b

2b= 88-48=40

b= 40÷2=20

breadth= 20m

Area1= 24×20=480m^2

Area2=10×10=100m^2

Playground = 480-100=380m^2
