Answer:
A. 385.56 square meters.
B. 142.56 square meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
A house 27m by 9m is surrounded by a walkway 1.8m wide.
a) Find the area of the region covered by the house and the walkway.
b) Find the area of the walkway.
Let
Length of the house=l=27m
Width of the house=w=9m
Wideness of the walkway=x=1.8m
Area of the region covered by the house and the walkway
=( L + 2*x) * (w + 2*x)
= (27+2*1.8)*(9+2*1.8)
=(27+3.6)*(9+3.6)
=(30.6)*(12.6)
=385.56 square meters.
b) Area of the walkway
= (L + 2*x)*(w + 2*x) - l*w
= (27+2*1.8)*(9+2*1.8) - 27*9
=(27+3.6)*(9+3.6) - 243
=(30.6)*(12.6) - 243
=385.56 - 243
=142.56 square meters.
