2) A path of uniform width 1.5 m runs around the inside of
a rectangular plot of 80 m long and 60 m wide. Calculate
the area of the path around the plot.

Hello Geeta!!!  : )
Here Is The Answer:

Area of the plot without the path = l x b
                                                     = 80 x 60
                                                     = 4800 m2

When path is added,
length of park = 80 + 1.5 + 1.5
                         = 80 + 3
                         = 83 m
breadth ​of park = 60 + 1.5 + 1.5
                           = 60 + 3
                           = 63 m

Area of park along with the path = l x b
                                                     = 83 x 63
                                                     = 5229 m2

Area of path = ​Area of park along with the path  - ​​Area of park without the path
                     = 5229 - 4800
                     = 429 m2

Hope It Helps You!!!
