The perimeter p of the path is the sum of eight segments. We'll start at the bottom right and go around clockwise.

p = (20 + x) + (10 + 2x) + (20 + x) + x + 20 + 10 + 20 + x

112 = 6x + 100

12 = 6x

x = 2

Answer: 2 meters

Area of the path; three patches:

A = x(20 + x) + 10 x + x(20 + x) = 50x + 2x^2

A = 50(2) + 2(2)^2 = 108

Answer: 108 sq meter
