Answer:
The rea of walk way is 32 ft^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
width, w = 8 feet
length, L = 10 feet
width of walkway, d = 2 feet
length of outer, L' = 10 + 2 + 2 = 14 feet
Area of outer, A' = L' x w = 14 x 8 = 112 ft^2
Area of inner, A = L x w = 10 x 8 = 80 ft^2
The area of walkway = A' - A = 112 - 80 = 32 ft^2
The rea of walk way is 32 ft^2.
