Question

A square park has a side of 50m a path 5m wide is built inside the park find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

length of the big square = 50 m

length of the small square = 5 m

Side of the smaller square = Side of the bigger square - 2(width of the path)

                                          = 50 - 2(5)

                                          = 50 - 10

                                          = 40 m

Area of the path = (50)² - (40)²

= 2500 - 1600 = 900 m²
