Question

There is a path of width 2.5 m all around the square shaped park. The perimeter of the park excluding the path is 160 m, find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of park =l×b=45×30=1350 cm

2

Area of park with path is =45+2.5+2.5×30+2.5+2.5=1750 cm

2

Therefore,

Area of path = Area of park with path − Area of rectangular park

=1750−1350=400 cm

2

Hence, this is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

400 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of park =l×b=45×30=1350 cm2

Area of park with path is =45+2.5+2.5×30+2.5+2.5=1750 cm2

Therefore,

Area of path = Area of park with path − Area of rectangular park             

=1750−1350=400 cm2
