Question

The length and breadth of a rectangular Park are in the ratio 5:2 . A wide path of 2.5 m that runs all around the park has an area of 445 square metre find the dimensions of the Park

Answer 1

Let Length of the park be 5x and Breadth of the park be 2x

Length of the path = 5x+5

Breadth of the Path = 2x+5

Area of the path [(5x+5)2.5]2 + [(2x)2.5]2 = 445

25x+25+10x = 445

35x = 420

x = 12

Length of the park is 60m

Breadth of the park is 24m
