Question:

A rectangular park is 45 m long and 30 m wide. A 2.5 m wide path is constructed all along outside the park. The area of the path is :

Options:

$1750\, m^2$

$1250\, m^2$

$400\, m^2$

$500\, m^2$

Correct Answer:

$400\, m^2$

Explanation:

Area of park =l×b=45×30=1350cm2

Area of park including path =(45+2.5+2.5)×(30+2.5+2.5)=1750cm2

Therefore,

Area of path = Area of park including path − Area of rectangular park

=1750−1350=400cm2.
