Question

The length of the side of a grassy square plot is 80 m. Two walking paths each 4 m wide are constructed parallel to the sides of the plot such that they cut each other at the centre of the plot. Determine the area of the paths

Answer 1

Hi there!

Given side of square plot  =  80 m

And 2 path that have width  = 4 m , (Are constructed)

So, 
Area of the path  =  80 × 4  + 80 × 4    

=  320  + 320  

=  640 m²
