A rectangular park is 45m long and 30m wide. A path 2.5 m wide is constructed outside the park. Find the area of the path.
Given:
A rectangular park is 45 m long and 30 m wide. A path 2.5 m wide is constructed outside the park.
To do:
We have to find the area of the path.
Solution:
We know that,
Area of a rectangle of length $l$ and breadth $b$ is $lb$.
Therefore,
Area of the garden = $45\times30\ m^2$
$=1350\ m^2$
Area of the outer rectangle including the park $= (45+2.5+2.5)\times(30+2.5+2.5)\ m^2$
$=50\times35\ m^2$
$=1750\ m^2$
This implies,
Area of the path $=$ Area of the outer rectangle $-$ Area of the garden
$=(1750-1350)\ m^2$
$=400\ m^2$.
The area of the path is $400\ m^2$.
