here, pq=10m and ps=300m, eh=10m and ef=700m

and kl=10m and kn=10m

area of roads = area of pqrs+area of efgh−area of klmn

[∵ klmn is taken twice, which is to be subtracted]

=ps×pq+ef×eh−kl×kn

=(300×10)+(700×10)−(10×10)

=3000+7000−100

=9,900m

area of road in hectares, 1m

=

10000

1

hectares

∴9,900m

=

10000

9900

=0.99 hectares

now, area of park excluding cross roads = area of park−area of road

=(ab×ad)−9,900

=(700×300)−9,900

=2,10,000−9,900

=2,00,100 m

=

200100

hectares=20.01 hectares.
