Question 1.

The figure shows a plot with sides 14 m and 12 m, and with a crosspath. What other measurements do you need to find the area of the crosspath? Once you identify the lengths to be measured, assign some possible values of your choice and find the area of the path. Give a formula for the area based on the measurements you choose. Class 8

Solution:

We heed to know the width of the crosspath.

Let this width be 2 m.

Required area

= Area of EFGH + Area of PQRS - Area of TUWX

= (14 ×2 + 12 × 2 - 2 × 2) sq. m

=(28 + 24 - 4) sq. m

= 48 sq.m
