Question

A rectangular path is 60m long and 30m wide. A path 5m wide is to be constructed outside and around the park. Then the area of the path is?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer

Area of park =l×b=45×30=1350 cm sq

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

Therefore,

Area of path = Area of park with path − Area of rectangular park         =1750−1350=400 cm sq

Hence, this is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

1000m^2

Step by step explanation:

Without the path,

Long= 60 m

Wide= 30m

Area= (Long*wide)=(60*30)=1800m^2

With the path,

Long= 60+(2*5)=60+10=70m

Wide=30+(2*5)=30+10=40

Area=70*40=2800m^2

So the area of the path will be

(Area with path-Area without path)

=2800-1800

=1000m^2
