A rectangle park is 45 m long and 30 m wide. A path 2.5 m wide is constructed outside the park. Find the area of the path.

Length of the rectangular park = 45 m

Breadth of the park = 30 m

Area of the park = l × 6 = 45m × 30m = 1350 m²

Length of the park including the path = 45 m + 2 × 2.5 m = 50 m

Breadth of the park including the path = 30 m + 2 × 2.5 m = 30m + 5m = 35m

Area of the park including the path = 50 m × 35 m = 1750 m²

Area of the path = 1750 m² – 1350 m² = 400 m²

Hence, the required area = 400 m².
