Question

find the area of the path 1.5 m wide running uniformly all around the garden of dimensions 17 m by 12 m
​

Answer 1

Answer:45.75m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectanglular garden(l)=17+1.5=18.5m

Breadth of the rectanglular garden(b)=12+1.5=13.5m

Area of the whole garden=l×b sq.units

=18.5×13.5

=249.75 m^2

Length of the rectanglular garden without width=17m

Breadth of the rectanglular garden without width=12m

Area of the rectanglular garden without width=l×b sq.units

=17×12

=204m^2

Area of the width =Area of whole rectangle -area of the rectangle without width

=249.75-204

=45.75m^2

So,area of the width=45.75m^2
