Question

Q21) A 5m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 80m and 75m. Find the area of path. *

1500 m²
1650 m²
2050 m²
1850 m²

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the park= 125m

Breadth of the park= 65m

Area of the park= l\times b

=125m\times65m=8125m^2

Length of the park including path

=125m+3m+3m=131m

Breadth of the park including path

= 65m+3m+3m=71m

Area of the park including path

131m\times71m=9301m^2

Area of the path

=9301m^2-8125m^2=1176m^2

Hence the required area= 1176m^2
