Question

A square park is of side 100 m. A path 5 m wide is made all around the garden inside it. Find the area of the path.​

Answer 1

Answer:

side = 100 m

area of park = 100² = 10000 m²

side with path = 5 m + 100 m + 5 m

                        = 110 m

area of park with path = 110² = 12100 m²

area of path = area of park with path - area of park

                    = 12100 - 10000

                    = 2100 m²

Therefore, area of path is 2100 m².

Answer 2

Answer:

1900 sq. m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of garden = 100 x 100 = 10000 sq. m.

Length of inner garden =  100 - (5+5) = 100 - 10 = 90 m

Area of inner garden = 90 x 90 = 8100 sq. m.

Area of path = Area of garden - Area of the inner garden

                    = 10000 - 8100

                    = 1900 sq. m.
