Question

A rectangular yard measuring 39 ft by 67 ft is bordered (and surrounded) by a fence. Inside, a walk that is 4 ft wide goes all the way along the fence. Find the area of this walk. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

The area of the walk is 784 square feet

What is an area?

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a region on the plane or on a curved surface

First, calculate the area of the rectangular yard.

Area = L x W    

where A equals area, L equals length, and W equals width.

According to the stated problem:

A = 39 x 67

A = 2613 square feet          <-------Area of Rectangular yard.

Now, according to the stated problem there is a walk that is 4 feet wide going all the way along the fence (Inside). "

Therefore, we have 8 feet to subtract from each of the values above (39) and (67).

That is 4 feet on each side,

A = L x W

A = 31 x 59

A = 1829 square feet     <----------Area of new rectangle formed by allowing for three foot walk.

Now, subtract the area of the new rectangle formed from the area of the original area. Doing so, will give you the area of the walk, correct?

Original area    =  2613  square feet

New area         =   1829 square feet

Hence, the Area of WALK = 784 square feet
