Question

A square park is of side 50 m. A path of width 2.5 m runs around the garden inside it. Find the area of path .​

Answer 1

Answer:- 475 square meter

Explanation:- You could add 2.5 m to each end of the sidewalk. That forms a new square.

50 + 2*2.5 = 55 meters on the side of the outside square.

So the area of the path = 55^2 - 50^2 = 3025 - 2500 = 525 square meters.

Edit

===

This runs out the outside edge of the park. In other words the sidewalk borders the outside edge of the park itself.

If the sidewalk runs 2.5 m along the inside edge and the 50 meters is largest dimension then each dimension has 5 meters taken off and the area is

50^2 - 45^2 = 475 square meters.

The same answer would be obtained by breaking this up into tiny little corner squares and rectangles along the sides.

Hope it will help......

Answer 2

Here is your answer:-

Given Information:

• Square path 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, he path would be present inside between the small square and big park.

Dimensions of Small Square Would be:

= 50 - 2 × 2.5

= 50 - 5

= 45 m

Original Dimension = 50 m

So Area of Path = Area of Bigger Part - Area of Smaller Part

= Area of bigger part = 50^2 = 2500 m^2

= Area of the smaller part = 45^2 = 2025 m^2

Hence The Area of The Path = 2500 m^2 - 2025 m^2

= Area of path = 475 m^2

Hence The Area of The Path Present Inside The Park is 475 m^2
