Question

a rectangular playground is 65m long and 30m wide .A pathwqy of 1.5 m width goes all ground outside it find the area ofvpathway​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The playground is rectangular.

Rs.ABCD is the playground. Around it is a pathway 1.5 m wide.

Around Rs.ABCD we get the rectangle Rs.PQRS

Length of new rectangle PQRS = 65 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 68 m

Breadth of new rectangle PQRS = 30 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 33m

Area of path = Area of rectangle PQRS – Area of rectangle ABCD = 68 x 33 – 65 x 30 = 2244 – 1950 = 294 sq m
