Question

A path 1$m$ wide is built inside a square park of 30m along its sides. Find the area of the path.

Answer 1

Since the path is built inside a square garden

A new square is formed after the path is built

Width of path is $1m$

So side of new square will be $30-1=29m$

Area of the path is ${30}^2-{29}^2=(30+29)(30-29)=59m^2$
