A path of 2.5 m width surrounds a rectangular garden of length 10 and breadth 8 m. Area of the garden, inclusive of the path is

Given that path has width 2.5 m

Length of the garden inclusive of the path = 10 + 2(2.5) = 15

Breadth of the garden inclusive of the path = 8 + 2 (2.5) = 13

∴ Area of the garden, inclusive of the path = length × breadth = 15 × 13 = 195 sq.m
