Question

A rectangular yard measuring 37' x 43' is bordered and surrounded by fence. Inside, a walk that is 2 foot wide goes all the way along the fence. Find the area of this walk.

Answer 1

Answer:

$A=160ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of yard $l=37ft$

Width of yard $w=43ft$

Walk $l_w=2ft$

Generally the perameter of the fence P is mathematically given by

$P=l+w$

$P=37+43$

$P=80$

Generally the equation for area of walk is mathematically given by

$A=P*l_w$

$A=80*2$

$A=160 ft^2$

Therefore area of walk is

$A=160ft^2$
