Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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
