A rectangular garden measures 10 meters by 5 meters. If a path that is 1 meter wide is built around the garden, what is the area of the path?
Correct: @
To find the area of the path, we first find the area of the larger rectangle including the path and then subtract the area of the garden. The larger rectangle has dimensions of 10 + 2*1 = 12 meters by 5 + 2*1 = 7 meters. The area of the larger rectangle is 12*7 = 84 m^2. The area of the garden is 10*5 = 50 m^2. The area of the path is then 84 - 50 = 34 m^2.
