Question

Find the area of the path.
27 A rectangular garden 86.5 m by 52.5 m is to be constructed two paths, each 3.5 wide, are
cut across the middle, one parallel to the length and the other parallel to the breadth.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the rectangular lawn=75m

Breadth of the lawn=60m

Width of the road=4m

Area of the road(ABCD) parallel to the length of the lawn = 75m×4m

=300m

2

Area of the road(EFGH) parallel to the breadth of the lawn = 60m×4m

=240m

2

Area of the common area in both ABCD and EFGH = 4m×4m

=16m

2

Total area of both the rectangular roads = 300+240−16

=524m

2

Cost of gravelling the roads per m

2

= Rs.4.50

Cost of gravelling the roads for 524m

2

=4.50×524

=2358

Cost of gravelling the road is Rs.2358
