A square lawn is surrounded by a path 2.5m wide. If the area of the path is 165m square find the area of lawn

Answered by admin @



square lawn surrounded by path -2.5 m wide

area of path - 165 m²

side of lawn -x

side of lawn including path - x + 2 (2.5 ) = x + 5

area of square - side * side

x² = ( x+5)- 165

x² = (x²+10x+25)

x²= x² + 10x-140

x² = 140 - x² =10x

-140 = -10x

140= 10x

x =140/10 =14

side of lawn is 14m

14 *14 is 196 m²
