Question 1106952: A rectangular yard measuring 39ftby 64ft is bordered (and surrounded) by a fence. Inside, a walk that is 3ft wide goes all the way along the fence. Find the area of this walk. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw this to see how it works.
The total area is 64*39=2496 ft^2
The area inside NOT on the walk is a rectangle 33*58=1914 ft^2
The walkway is the difference of the two or 582 ft^2.
