Given:

A square grossy plot is of side 100 meter.

width of the gravel path is 10 meters.

outer side of the grossy plot = 100m

The area of the outer side = side x side.

= 100 X 100 =10000 square meter.

Inner side of the grossy plot = 100- (2 x 10)

= 100-20 =80m.

Inner area of the grossy side = side x side

=80 X 80 = 6400 square meter.

Now, to find the area of the gravel path. use the formula,

Area of the gravel path = outer side of the grossy plot - inner side of the grossy plot

= 10000 - 6400 = 3600 sq. meter

The area of the path is 3600 sq. meter.
