Question

There is a rectangular park of dimensions 80 m * 30 m. A path is to be constructed in the park of width 6 m as shown in figure. Find the area of path and area of remaining park.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the park = 50 m

Breadth of the park = 30 m

Area of the park = 50×30

=1500m

2

Width of the path inside the park = 2m

Length of the park without path = 50−(2+2)=50−4=46m

Breadth of the park without path = 30−(2+2)=30−4=26m

Area of the park without the path = 46×26

=1196m

2

Area of the path = Area of park - Area of park without path

=1500−1196

=304m
