Question

A rectangular playground is 65 m. long and 30 m. wide.
A pathway of 1.5 m. width goes all around the ground
outside it. Find the area of pathway.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of inner rectangle = 65m

Breadth of inner rectangle= 30m

Area of inner rectangle = LxB

$65 \times 30 = 1950 {m}^{2}$

Length of outer rectangle = 65+1.5+1.5=65+3=68m

Breadth of outer rectangle = 30+1.5+1.5=30+3=33m

Area of outer rectangle

$length \times breadth = 68 \times 33 = 2244 {m}^{2}$

Now Area of path = Area of outer rectangle - Area of Inner rectangle

2244-1950= 294 sq m
