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!!!
