Question

A rectangle plot of land consists of a square garden planted with tulips and a concrete path surrounding the garden. The area of the garden is $\frac{9}{14}$ of the area of the plot of land. Calculate the length of one side of the square garden.

Answer 1

Area of garden $PQRS$ $=\frac{9}{14}\cdot$ Area of $ABCD$

$x^2=\frac{9}{14}\cdot 56$

$x^2=9\times 4$

$x=6m$

So$,$ side of garden $=6m.$
