A rectangular lawn is 65 m long and 50 m wide, if it is surrounded by a perimeter of 5 m wide, what is the area of the rectangular lawn? of the path way?

Answer 1

As you stated; the rect lawn is 65*50=325; so now you've got 75*60=450-325=125.

Answer 2

A = 65(50)

A = 3250 m²

The trick to figuring out the area of the path is first to remember that the path adds 5 m to each end, so 10 m to each side.

A = 75(60)

A = 4500 m²

4500 m² is the area of the lawn aaaand the path.

4500 - 3250 = 1250 m² is the area of the path.
