The area of the road is 525m².
Given:
The length of a rectangular garden is 60 m and the width is 40 m there is a 2.5 m broad road around (outside) the garden.
To Find:
The area of the road.
Solution:
To find the area of the road we will follow the following steps:
As we know,
Length = 60m
Breadth = 40m
Road constructed = 2.5 m
The area of the rectangle is given by the product of the length and breadth.
This means a 2.5m road is constructed on both the length and breadth of the rectangular garden.
Now,
Length after construction = 60 + 2(2.5) = 65m
Length after construction = 40 + 2(2.5) = 45m
Now,
Area of the garden after construction = 65 × 45 = 2925m²
Area of the garden before construction = 60 × 40 = 2400m²
Now,
Area of road constructed = area of the whole garden after construction + area before construction in
So,
Area of road constructed =
Henceforth, the area of the road is 525m².
