Question

When a path runs along inside of a rectangle, the width of the path should be equal to
difference of outer length and inner length of rectangle or difference of outer breadth
and inner breadth of rectangle. (True/False)​

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say a rectangle has 10 cm length and 5 cm breadth

If there is a 1 cm thick path, then Inner rectangle length will be 10 - (1+1)

10 - 2 = 8 cm (1 cm in each sides will be short)

Similarly, Inner rectangle breadth = 5 - (1+1) = 3 cm

But according to the given statements

Width of the path = 10 - 8 = 2 cm. Which is False.

The correct statement will be Width of the path will be half the difference between outer length and inner length.
