X= width of the path.
we can suggest this equation:

(20+2x)(28+2x)=1584

we solve this equation:
(20+2x)(28+2x)=1584
560+40x+56x+4x²=1584
4x²+96x-1024=0
4/4x²+96/4x-1024/4=0/4
x²+24x-256=0

We solve this square equation:

x=[-24⁺₋√(576+1024)]/2=(-24⁺₋40)/2
we have two solutions:
x₁=(-24-40)/2=-32  this solution is not valid.
x₂=(-24+40)/2=8

Answer: the width of the path is 8 m.

Regular octagon.
Regular shapes take the least amount of degrees to rotate on themselves. However, out of all of them, the octagon has the most sides and thus also the least amount of degrees in rotating.

Hope this helps :)
