Answer:
304m2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the path = Area of campus (ABCD) – area of EFGH ...(1)
Area of school campus (ABCD) = length × breadth
= 50 m × 30 m = 1500 m2
Area of EFGH = length (EH) × breadth (EF)
= (50 – 2 – 2) × (30 – 2 – 2) = 46 × 26 = 1196 m2
From equ. (1)
Area of path = 1500 – 1196 = 304 m2.
