Question

HELP!!! URGENT!

A garden measuring 12 meters by 6 meters is going to have a walkway constructed all around the perimeter, increasing the total area to 160 square meters. What will be the width of the pathway? (The pathway will be the same width around the entire garden).

Answer 1

2 m

Explanation:

I found the area of the garden: 12x6 = 72m2

I found the area of the path: 160-72 = 88m2

So, one side is going to be 16 and the other 10.

16x10=160
