a vegetable garden and a surrounding path are shaped like a square that together are 10ft wide. the path is 1ft wide. find the area of the path

Answer 1

Answer: The area of the path=$36\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The side length of square garden included the path= 10 ft

Then the area of the field which included both gardens and path= $10\times10=100\ ft^2$

The width of the path = 1 ft

Therefore, the side of square vegetable garden = 10-2=8 ft

The area of vegetable garden =$8\times8=64\ ft^2$

Therefore, the area of the path=$100-64=36\ ft^2$

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 36 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is a square so we will find the area as = side x side

Together the garden and a surrounding path are 10 feet wide.

Area will be = $10\times10=100$ square feet

The path is 1 feet wide.

So, at both ends it becomes 2 feet

The dimension of the garden is = $10-2=8$ feet

And area is = $8\times8=64$ square feet

So, area of the path alone = $100-64=36$ square feet.

Hence, the answer is 36 square feet.
