Question

A garden is 90 m long and 75 m broad. A path 5 m wide is to be built outside and around it. Found the area of the path. Also find the area of the garden in hectare.

Answer 1

Area of the garden = l × b

Length = l = 90 m

Breath = b = 75 m

∴ Area of the garden EFG || GHE = 90 × 75

= 6750 sq mtrs

1 Hectare = 10,000 sqmts.

Area of the outer skirt of the garden = l × b

length = 90 + 5 + = 100 m

breadth = 75 + 5 + 5 = 85 m

∴ Area = 100 × 85 = 8,500sqm

Area of the path = 0.850 – 0.675 = 0.175

0.175 hectare or 1750 sq mts
