Question

A uniform path of width 2.5m is laid outside and around a rectangular garden of length 20m and breadth 18m.The area of the path is​

Answer 1

Answer:

• ${215m}^{2 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

lenght of garden = 20 m

breadth of garden= 18m

area of garden= length × breadth

= 20m×18 m

${360m}^{2}$

lenght of garden with path=20+2.5+2.5=25m

breadth of garden with path=18+2.5+2.5=23m

arean of garden with path= 25m ×23m

${575m}^{2}$

So,

area of path = area of garden with path- area of garden

= (575 - 360)m sq

${215m}^{2}$
