a walkway 3.3m wide is constructed along the outside edge of a square courtyard.
if the perimeter of the courtyard is 304m, what is the perimeter of the square formed by the outer edge of the walkway?
:
Find one side of the square courtyard: 304/4 = 76m
:
A walkway 3.3 m wide will add 6.6m to all 4 sides
4(76+6.6) = 330.4 m is the perimeter of the outer edge of the walkway
