52 square metres
Step-by-step explanation:
we can divide the pathway in to 2 parts to find the area
1st part
length = 12m
breadth = 2m
[tex]area = 12 \times 2 = {24}^{2}m [/tex]
2nd part
length = 16-2 = 14
breadth = 2
area =
[tex]area = 14 \times 2 = {28}^{2} m[/tex]
atlast add both areas
Answer:
find the area of the horizontal rectangle, add it to the vertical rectangle and remove the common part
2 * 16 + 2 * 12 - 2 * 2 =
52m²
