Question 429833: A garden is rectangular with a width of 10 feet and a length of 12 feet. If it is surrounded by a walkway 2 feet wide, how many square feet of area does the walkway cover? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Length of ground =12 feet
Width = 10feet
width of side walk= 2feet
Area = 12*10= 120 ft^2
Area of garden + walkaway=(10+2)(12+2)
Area of garden + walkaway=168 ft^2
Area of walkway = area of (garden+walkway)-areaof garden=
Area of walkway= 48ft^2
