Question

A square garden is of side ‘4a’ units. There is a pathway of equal width of ‘b’ units around the square garden outside. Find the area of the path.

Answer 1

Answer:

⇒area of the path = area of the square garden - area of inner square

area of the square garden = 16a²

area of inner square  = (4a-2b)²

⇒ area of the path =16a²-(4a-2b)² = 4b(4a-b)
