Question

In the adjoining figure, find the area of the path which is 1.7 metre wide all around the rectangle.

Answer 1

Length of rectangle with path=26m
Breadth of rectangle with path=14m Area rectangle with path = l*b =26*14 =364m^2
Length of rectangle without path=26-(2*1.7)=22.6m
Breadth of rectangle without path = 14-(2*1.7)=10.6m
Area rectangle without path = l*b =22.6*10.6 =239.56m^2
