Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the width of the path.
Outside length of rectangular garden = 10 m.
Outside breadth of rectangular garden = 6 m.
Length of garden = 10 - 2x
breadth of garden = 6-2x
Area of inside garden excluding path = (10 - 2x)(6 -2x) = 32
=> 60 - 12x - 20x + 4x² = 32
=> 4x² - 32x + 28 = 0
=> x² - 8x + 7 = 0
=> (x - 7)(x - 1) = 0
=> x = 7 or 1
But since x cannot be 7, x = 1 m.
Thus the width of path = 1 m.
Length of garden = 10 - 2 = 8 m.
Breadth of garden = 6 - 2 = 4 m.
