A rectangular ground 80 m x 50 m has a path 1 m wide outside around it. The area of the path is

Given:


Length = 80 m


Breadth = 50 m


Width of the path = 1m


Area of path = 1911 m2



Length of field with path = 80 + (1 + 1)


= 82 m


Breadth of field with path = 50 + (1 + 1)


= 52 m


Area of field with path = Length of field with path × Breadth of field with path


= 82 m × 52 m


= 4264 m2


Area of field without path = Length without path × Breadth without path


= 80 m × 50 m


= 4000 m2


Now,


Area of path = Area of field - Area of field without path


= 4264 m2 – 4000 m2


= 264 m2
