A garden is90 m long &75m broad. A path 5m wide is to be built outside & around it . Find the area of the path . Also find the area of the garden in hectare.
Hi!
Here is the answer to your question.
In the figure ABCD is the garden whose length and breadth are 90 m and 75 m respectively.
A path 5 m wide is to be built outside and around it.
Area of the path = area of rectangle PQRS – area of rectangle UVWX
= PS × PQ – UV × UX
= (90 m + 5 m + 5 m) × (75 m + 5 m + 5 m) – (90 m – 5 m – 5 m) × (75 m – 5 m – 5 m)
= 100 m × 85 m – 80 m × 65 m
= (8500 – 5200) m2
= 3300 m2
Cheers!
