Answer 2

Hey there!

Here is the solution to your question.

length=8m

breadth=5m

and 0.5= width of path

area of rectangular swimming pool= l×b

= 8×5= 40m^2 _________|1|

let a =width of path +breadth of rectangle=0.5+5 =5.5m

also length =8m

Now area =l×a

= 5.5×8=44.0m^2__________|2|

now subtracting 1 from 2 we get

44.0-40 = 4m^2

therefore area of path is 4m^2

Hope this helps.
