Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of Square Park is 50 m

Length of Square Park inside = 50 - 5

= 45 m

Area of path is

\begin{gathered}= (50) {}^{2} - (45) {}^{2} \\ = (50 + 45)(50 - 45) \\ = 95 \times 5 \\ = 475 \: m {}^{2}\end{gathered}

=(50)

2

−(45)

2

=(50+45)(50−45)

=95×5

=475m

Answer 2

Answer: 475 m2

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.
