Area of Path and Verandah

Area of Path & Verandah: 

 It is observed that in square or rectangular gardens or parks. Some space in the form of path is left inside or outside or in between as cross paths.

Illustration: A footpath of uniform width 5 m runs round the inside of a rectangular park 38 m long and 32 m wide. Find the area of the path.

Solution: Let ABCD be the rectangular park and PQRS be the internal boundaries of the path.

We have, Length AB= 38 m and Breadth BC= 32 m:

Thus, Area of rectangle ABCD = AB large times BC = 38 m large times 32 m = 1216 large ^{m^{2}}

Now, Length PQ  = 38 m - 5 m - 5 m = 28 m and Breadth QR = 32 m - 5 m - 5 m = 22m

Area of rectangle PQRS = PQ large times RS = 28 m large times 22 m = 616 large ^{m^{2}}

Area of footpath = Area of rectangle ABCD - Area of rectangle PQRS = 1216 - 616=600 large ^{m^{2}}

Thus, Area of footpath =600 large ^{m^{2}}

The area of the crossroads = Area of the two colored rectangles - Area of the red colored rectangle at the centre.

We are subtracting the area of the rectangle because we are taking it into consideration two times.
