Question

Outside the court ard is 120 m“, find the width of the path.

A square garden has an area of 441 m². If the path of uniform width surrounding inside the
garden is 216 m², find the width of the path.
​

Answer 1

Area of a square garden = 2, 500 m².

Length of the side of the garden = √2,500 = 50 m.

Width of the path = 2.5 m.

Path is inside the garden.

Width of the garden that is inside (enclosed) by the path:

50 - 2 * 2.5 = 45 m.

Length of the garden inside by the path : = 45 m.

So the area of garden inside the path = 45 * 45 m²

= 2, 025 m².

Area of the path = 2, 500 - 2, 025

= 475 m².

Cost of laying the path = Rs 25 /m² * 475 m²

= Rs 11, 875.
