Question

There is a rectangular park of length $50$ m and breadth $30$ m. There is a path $2$ m width inside the rectangular park. Find the area of the path.

Answer 1

Given

Length of the park = 50 m

Breadth of the park = 30 m

Area of the park = $50\times 30$

$=1500m^2$

Width of the path inside the park = 2m

Length of the park without path = $50-(2+2)=50-4=46m$

Breadth of the park without path = $30-(2+2)=30-4=26m$

Area of the park without the path = $46\times 26$

$=1196m^2$

Area of the path = Area of park - Area of park without path

$=1500-1196$

$=304m^2$
