Question

the length of rectangular field is 25 m and width is 18m. there is 2m wide path on all the 4 sides of field. Find the area of path??

Answer 1

Hello Friend

Here is your answer

Length of rectangular field is 25 m

Breadth of rectangular field is 18 m

Area of rectangular field = Length × Breadth

$= 25 \times 18 \\ = 450 \: m {}^{2}$
Now 2 m wide path there on all round of sides of rectangular field

Hence Length = 25 + 2 + 2 = 29 m

Breadth = 18 + 2 + 2 = 22 m

Area of rectangular field including path = Length× Breadth
$= 29 \times 22 \\ = 638 \: m {}^{2}$
Hence
Area of path = Area of rectangular field including path - Area of rectangular field
$= 638 - 450 \\ = 188 \: m {}^{2}$
Therefore Area of path is 188 sq.m

Hope it helps you
