a garden is 15 m × 10 m . It has a 2.6. m wide flower bed all around outside it. There is also a 2.5 m wide grassy path all around and outside the flower bed . Find the area of the flower bed and grassy path respectively​

flower bed = 157.04

grassy path = 202

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw this out, it's basically a rectangle inside a rectangle inside a rectangle. I'm going to call those rectangles A, B, and C. with A being the smallest and C being the biggest.

first we need to find the area of A, B, and C.

A will be easy because we're already given that its 15x10

Area A = 150

To find area B, we need to add the 2.6 pathway to all the sides, so it'll be:

length: 15+2.6(2) = 20.2 m

width: 10+2.6(2) = 15.2 m

Area B = 307.04

Then we do the same for area C but with 2.5 m.

length: 20.2+2.5(2) = 25.2 m

width: 15.2+2.5(2) = 20.2 m

Area C = 509.04

To find the area of just the flower bed, we need to subtract area A from area B, then to find grassy path we need to subtract area B from area C.

flower bed: 307.04-150 = 157.04

grassy path: 509.04-307.04 = 202

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.
