Question

Length of a rectangular garden is 10m and it's breadth is 8 m. If a road of uniform width of x m is surrounded outside the park, find the area of the road in terms of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To go all the way around the park you would effectively need to lay 2 x 12m down the 10m length then 2 x 8m to construct the path down each width

So the total area of the path would be (2x12) + (2x8) = 40m squared

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To go all the way around the park you would effectively need to lay 2 x 12m down the 10m length then 2 x 8m to construct the path down each width

So the total area of the path would be (2x12) + (2x8) = 40m squared
