Question

Each side of a square flower bed is 2 m 80 cm long. It is extended by digging a strip 30 cm
wide all around it. Find the area of the enlarged flower bed and also the increase in the area
of the flower bed.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the square flower bed = 2 m 80 cm = 2.8 m It is extended by digging a strip = 30 cm = 0.3m ∴ Area of the square flower bed = (Side)2 = (2.80 m )2 = 7.84 m2 Side of the flower bed with the digging strip =(2.80 + 0.3 + 0.3) m = 3.4 m Area of the enlarged flower bed with the digging strip = (Side )2 = (3.4 )2 = 11.56 m2 ∴ Increase in the area of the flower bed = 11.56 m2 − /753645/each-side-square-flower-bed-is-80-cm-long-it-is-extended-by-digging-strip-30-cm-wide-all-around
