Question

the length and breadth of a rectangular field are 30m and 15m respectively. a path 2m wide runs all around inside it. find the area of path

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

length of the rectangle = 30m

breadth of the rectangle = 15m

length of the rectangle including wide path = 30+2+2=34m

breadth of the rectangle including wide path = 15+2+2=19

area of the rectangle field including path = l×b

= 34×19

=646sq.m

area of the rectangle field excluding path = l×b

= 30× 15

= 450sq.m

area of the path = area of the rectangle field including path - area of the rectangle field

area of the path = 646-450=196

= 196sq.m

therefore area of the path = 196sq.m
