Question

Path of uniform width 2 m runs around the inside of a square field of side 20 m.find the area of the path.

Answer 1

Answer=76(m2).

Area of square = side×side.

20×20=400(m2).

length of path=20-2=18m

breath of path=20-2=18m

area of square =18×18=324(m2).

therefore,area of the path=400-324=76(m2)

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of the path is 144m²

Step-by-step explanation:

• Side of the square=20
• Area of the square= $x^{2}$ where x is the side of the square.

       The area of the square=$20^2=400m^2$

• The Width of the path =2m.
• The side of the inside square=20-2-2=16m²
• The area of the inside square=$16^2=256 m^2$
• The area of the path is given by the difference of the areas of the two squares.

        Area of the path=400-256

                                           =144m²

Conclusion:

The area of the path is 144m²
