A park is 80 m long and 60 m broad. A path 5 m wide is to be built out

1.	A park is 80 m long and 60 m broad. A path 5 m wide is to be built outside and around it. Find the area of the path.
Answer» :-The area of the path is 1500m².Step-by-step explanation ::To Find :-The area of pathGiven that,LENGTH of the park = 80mBreadth of the park = 60mA path 5m wide is to be built outside and around it.Figure,Refer the attachment.Solution:As we KNOW that,Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth,Area of the park = length × breadth= ( 80 × 60 )m²= 4800m²The area of park is 4800m².Length of park including the path= [ 80 + ( 5 + 5 ) ]= 80 + 10= 90mBreadth of park including the path= [ 60 + ( 5 + 5 ) ]= 60 + 10= 70mNow, area of park including the path,= Length × Breadth= ( 90 × 70 )m²= 6300m²According the question,The area of path is,= ( 6300 - 4800 )m²= 1500m²The area of the path is 1500m².
