Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The border of path will also be square as it is surrounded to square lawn.

let x be length of path and y be length of lawn.

area of path+lawn=400m^2

x^2=400

taking root

x=20 metres

length of path(x) =20m

width of path(b)= 5m

area of path (rectangle)=X x b

of one side

=100m2

area of lawn= path+lawn -path

=400-100

=300 m
