Dear Student,

Length of rectangular plot, l1 = 80mBreadth of rectangular plot, b1 = 60mArea of rectangular plot = l1 × b1 = 80×60 = 4800 m2 Length of rectangular plot including the path, l2 = 80+1
5+1
5 = 83Breadth of rectangular plot including the path, b2 = 60+1
5+1
5 = 63Area of rectangular plot including the path = l2 × b2 = 83×63 = 5229 m2Area of path = Area of rectangular plot including the path - Area of rectangular plot = 5229 - 4800 = 429 m2
