• A square park is of side 50 m. A path of width 2.5 m runs around the park inside it. Find the area of the path
Answers
Side of the path = 2.5 m
Area of a square : Side × Side
= 2.5 × 2.5
= 6.25 m square
So,the area of the path will be 6.25 m square
Answer:
Hope my answer helped !
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Information:
Square park with side 50 m
A path with 2.5 m width is added along the border of the park.
To Find:
The area of the path
Illustration:
It is already given that the path to be present inside the park. So the Path would be present inside between the small square and Big park ( Original park ).
Dimensions of Small Square would be :
= 50 - 2 × 2.5 m
=> 50 - 5 m = 45 m
Original Dimension = 50 m
So Area of Path = Area of Bigger Part - Area of smaller part
=> Area of Bigger Part = 50² = 2500 m²
=> Area of the smaller Part = 45² = 2025 m²
Hence the Area of t he path = 2500 m²- 2025 m²
=> Area of Path = 475 m²
Hence the area of the path present inside the park is 475 m².
