Question

A3 m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 125m and breadth 65m. Find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer:

1176 sq.m

Step by step explanation:

Area of the park = Length × Breadth

= (125×65) sq.m

= 8125 sq.m

Length of the garden including the path = (125+3+3) m

= 131 m

Breadth of the garden including the path =

(65+3+3) m

= 71 m

Area of the park including the path = Length × Breadth

= (131×71) sq.m

= 9301 sq.m

Area of the path = Area of the park including the path - Area of the park

= (9301 - 8125)

= 1176 sq.m
