Question

A lawn $30$ m long and $16$ m wide is surrounded by a path $2$ m wide. What is the area of the path?

• A. $200$ sq. m
• B. $280$ sq. m
• C. $300$ sq. m
• D. $320$ sq. m

Answer 1

The correct option is A $200$ sq. m

Given, length of lawn $=16$ m, width $=2$ m

We need to find the area of the path.

Figure is shown according to question having sides $=16+2+2,30+2+2=20m,34m$

Thus area of path $=(34\times 20-30\times 16)m^2$
$=(680-480)$
$=200$ sq. m
