Question

Two crossroads, as shown in fig.2, each of width 5m, run through the centre of a rectangular park of length 75m and breadth 55m. Find the area of the paths.​​​S[4]

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the paths = 625 sq m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the paths = Area of the entire rectangular park - 4 corner rectangles

= Area ABCD - Area AEPJ - Area BFQK - Area CGRL - Area DISH

= 75 m x 55 m - 4 x (75 - 5)/2 x (55 - 5)/2

= 75x55 sq m - 70x50 sq m

= 25(15x11 - 14x10) sq m

= 25(165 - 140) sq m

= 25x25 sq m

= 625 sq m
