Question

Around a square pool, there is a footpath of width 2 m. If the area of the footpath is 5/4times that of the pool, find the area of the pool.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.2m²

Step-by-step explanation:

let the area of the pool be x m²

area of footpath=(2m)²=4m²

5/4 times of pool =area of footpath

5/4 of x m² =4m²

x=4m²/5/4=4m²x4/5

=16m²/5

=3.2m²
