Through a rectangular field of sides 60 m x 40 m, two roads are constructed which are parallel to the sides and cut each other at right angles through the center of the field. If the width of the roads is 5 m, find the total area covered by the two roads.
Answers & Comments
Answer:
total area covered by two roads =725m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given length of field = 90 m
width of field = 60 m.
Area of field =90×60
Area =5400m

length of road GEFH = 90 m.
length of road ABCD = 60 m.
width of each road = 5m [Given].
Area of roads =ar(ABCD)+ar.(GEFH)−ar(LIJK)
90*5 + 60*5-5*5
=725m²
