A᭄ɴsᴡᴇʀ ⤵️

Given :-

Length - 90 m

Breadth - 70 m

Width of path - 5 m

To Find :-

Area of Path ??

Solution ↘️

Area of Inner rectangle

=> l × b

=> 90 × 70

=> 6300 m²

Now new Dimensions formed :-

Length - 90 + 5 + 5

=> 100 m

Breadth - 70 + 5 + 5

=> 80 m

AREA -

l × b

=> 100 × 80

=> 8000 m²

AREA OF PATH = AREA OF OUTER RECTANGLE - AREA OF INNER RECTANGLE

=> 8000 m² - 6300 m²

=> 1700 m²
