Answer:
Length of rectangular park=125m, breadth of rectangular park=65m and width of the path=3m
Length of rectangular park with path=125+3+3=131m
Breadth of rectangular park with path=65+3+3=71m
∴ Area of path = Area of park with path−Area of park without path
=(AB×AD)−(EF×EH)
=(131×71)−(125×65)
=9301−8125
=1,176m

Thus, area of path around the park is 1,176m
