Question

A $3$ metre wide path runs outside and around a park of length $125m$ and Breadth is $65m$. Find the area of the path.

Answer 1

The length of park is $125m$ and width is $65m$.

The path is $3m$ wide

The length of the park including path $=125+6=131m$

The breadth of the park including path $=65+6=71m$

Area of the path = Area of the park including path - Area of the rectangular park

$=131\times 71-125\times 65$

$=9301-8125$

$=1176m^2$

Hence, The area of the path is $1176m^2$
