Question

Two cross roads each of 5m wide run at right angles through the centre of a rectangular park 70m by 50m, such that each is parallel to one of the sides of the park. Find the area of the cross roads?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 70m

B = 50m

wide of road = 5m

Area of road =

$70 \times 5 + 50 \times 5 - 5 \times 5 \\ = 350 + 250 - 25 \\ = 575 {m}^{2}$
