Step-by-step explanation:
the easiest way to answer this is to calculate the area of the large rectangle (white) and subtract the area of the small rectangular (black).
we know the dimensions of the small rectangle : 10×6
and because of the 2m thick "frame" we know the dimensions of the large rectangle by adding 2×2 m to every small dimension : 14×10
(2 m on the top and the bottom, and 2 m left and right, so 4 m added in every direction).
the area of the large rectangle is
14 m × 10 m = 140 m²
the area of the small rectangle is
10 m × 6 m = 60 m²
so the area of the path is
140 - 60 = 80 m²
