Consider the side of the lawn be x
Given width of the path 2.5m
Side of the lawn including path x+2(2.5)=x+5
Area of a square =(side) Consider the side of the lawn be x
Given width of the path 2.5m
Side of the lawn including path x+2(2.5)=x+5
Area of a square =(side)²
So, area of lawn = (Area of the lawn including the path) - (Area of the path)
Therefore, According to the given question,:
x²=(x+5)²-165
x²=(x²+10x+25)-165m²
x²=x²+10x+25-165
x²=x²+10x-140
x²-140=x²-10x
x²-x²-140=-10
−140=−10x
i.e 140=10x
∴x=140/10=14
Since the side of the lawn = 14m
The area of the lawn=(14)² or196 m²
