Question

. A rectangular plot is 50 m long and 45 m broad. A path 4 m wide is to be built all around it along its border. Find the area of the path.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of path = 824 m2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of original plot = 50 * 45 = 2250 m2

After path is added around rectangle, new length = 50 + 2*4 = 58 m

new breadth = 45 + 2*4= 53 m

Area of rectangle with path = 58 * 53 = 3074 m2

So area of path = Area of rectangle with path - Area of rectangle without path

Area of path = 3074 - 2250  = 824 m2

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of original plot = 50 * 45 = 2250 m2

After path is added around rectangle, new length = 50 + 2*4 = 58 m

new breadth = 45 + 2*4= 53 m

Area of rectangle with path = 58 * 53 = 3074 m2

So area of path = Area of rectangle with path - Area of rectangle without path

Area of path = 3074 - 2250 = 824 m2Step-by-step explanation:
