Question

A rectangular plot of land measuring 35 m by 20 m has a uniform path around its inside boundary of

width 2.5 m. Find the area of the path​

Answer 1

250 sq.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of garden including width = 30 m

width of garden including width = 25 m

Width of Path including width = 2.5 m

So,Inner length = 30-(2.5+2.5)= 25 m

Inner width =25-(2.5+2.5) = 20 m

Area of path = Outer area - Inner area

= (30 \times 25)-(25 \times 20)

= 250 m^2

Hence the area of the path is 250 m^2
