1.	Is there another way to find the area of the pathway ?
Answer» Yes. The area of the pathway can be found by dividing it into rectangles and adding the areas of these rectangles. Length of rectangle 1 = 30 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 33 m Breadth of rectangle 1 = 1.5 m ∴ Area of rectangle 1 = 33 x 1.5 = 49.5 sq. m Area of rectangle 4 = Area of rectangle 1 = 49.5 sq. m. Length of rectangle 2 = 65 m breadth of rectangle 2 = 1.5 m ∴ Area of rectangle 2 = 65 x 1.5 = 97.5 sq. m. Area of rectangle 3 = area of rectangle 2 = 97.5 sq. m. ∴ Area of pathway = Sum of area of the 4 rectangles = 49.5 + 49.5 + 97.5 + 97.5 = 294 sq. m.

Answer»

Yes.

The area of the pathway can be found by dividing it into rectangles and adding the areas of these rectangles.

Length of rectangle 1 = 30 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 33 m

Breadth of rectangle 1 = 1.5 m

∴ Area of rectangle 1 = 33 x 1.5

= 49.5 sq. m

Area of rectangle 4 = Area of rectangle 1

= 49.5 sq. m.

Length of rectangle 2 = 65 m

breadth of rectangle 2 = 1.5 m

∴ Area of rectangle 2 = 65 x 1.5

= 97.5 sq. m.

Area of rectangle 3 = area of rectangle 2

= 97.5 sq. m.

∴ Area of pathway = Sum of area of the 4 rectangles

= 49.5 + 49.5 + 97.5 + 97.5

= 294 sq. m.
