Question

A rectangular park of dimensions $90$m and $80$m.Four paths pass through the park of width $1.5$m and parallel to the breadth and two paths of $2$m width are parallel to length.Find the area of the paths and also the area of the remaining portion of the park.

Answer 1

Total area of paths parallel to breadth$=4\times (1.5\times 80)=480m^2$

Total area of paths parallel to length$=2\times (2\times 90)=360m^2$

Total area of the path$=480+360=840m^2$

Area of the remaining portion of the park$=80\times 90-840=2700-840=6360m^2$
